I Rule - URI Translation?

Hello, everyone.

 

I haven't seen any threads that address this particular topic, so I thought that I'd give it a shot.

 

 

My problem ( "challenge..." ) is that I'd like do do an action similar to a redirect, except that I'd like it to be invisible to the client. That is, I'd like for a client to be able to request:

 

www.webserver.com/somepath/app.aspx

 

 

then the BigIP would translate the request to:

 

www.webserver.com/anotherpath/app.aspx

 

 

but to the client's browser, they would continue to see:

 

www.webserver.com/somepath/app.aspx

 

 

...I already make use of the redirect statement, and I know that using redirect changes the client's URI in his/her browser. If there's a way to do the translation, I'd be much obliged if someone could give me a hint about how to do it.

 

 

Regards,

 

Chad
