Is the VIP you have the redirect rule added to defined on port 80?

 

 

If so, the rule should work fine. When you say the redirect isn't working, what are the symptoms? Can you add a log statement to the rule to ensure the request is actually making it to the VIP and the rule as expected?

 

 

Can you use a browser plugin like LiveHttpHeaders for Firefox or IEwatch for IE to see what headers/response content is being sent to the client?

 

 

If by chance your VIP is defined on port 0 (any), then you would need to add logic to the rule to only redirect if the request was made to port 80. Deb replied to this post with more info on such a rule (Click here)
