Aug 13, 2010immediate redirect when client attempts to access an HTTPS URL that will be going away
This is probably a silly question but I am going to ask it anyway ...
We have a HTTPS site that we will be retiring in the near future.
We want to redirect clients who attempt to browse to that site...

Yes, that is the issue. I should have been more clear. The current SSL certificate is a Verisign cert and the company does not want to pay to renew it (since the site will no longer exist). So, to give the clients some time to adjust to the fact that the site moved from https://www.originalsite.example.com/ to https://www.newsite.example.com/ , I would like the LTM to redirect the clients to the new site as soon as it sees an HTTPS connection to the "originalsite" VIP (i.e. no SSL handshaking, etc.). I just don't know if that is possible. (Whether or not it should be possible is another question, of course. Even if it is do-able, a little voice keeps whispering, "Major security no-no!").
Thank you.
