NimbostratusHTTP to proxy format in order to force the use of a proxy
One way to force the use of a proxy in order to connect to a HTTP server is to use it either as a reverse proxy or a transparent proxy.
Is it possible to use irules on a HTTP virtual server ...
The way we did this was to create two VIPS one for the proxys and the other for the web servers. We pointed our DNS to the Proxy vip, and had the proxys loop back to the BigIp to the other vip and have them hit the web server. The main reson for this was we felt it was a little cleaner and allowed for little easer trouble shooting for our standpoint. The one big thing with eather of the setup is make sure the proxys and the web servers are on different networks or you will run into problems.
