Internal users to be redirected to external

Hi All,

 

 

Need help how to redirect internal users to external sites.

 

 

Below is the example scenario that needs to work:

 

 

 

Example flow

 

 

Internal user ->F5 -> External site

 

 

Example config entry:

 

 

Internal Users

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

Internal DNS entry: Customer.com = 10.1.1.1

 

 

 

 

 

External Users

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

External DNS entry: Customer.com = 202.1.1.1

 

External F5 VS for customer.com = 202.1.1.1

 

 

When external users browse customer.com needs to redirect to customer1.com <- I created an irule and mounted on the External F5 VS and currently working.

 

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

What I want to do is:

 

 

1)when internal users browse customer.com they should be redirected to customer1.com

 

 

 

Do you think will it work if:

 

 

1) I will create a interval F5 VS 10.1.1.1 and create an irule that will redirect them to customer1.com?

 

 

 

Thanks.

 

If you can hardcode the IP address for the external customer.com site, you could simply create a pool of 202.1.1.1 and have the internal VS on 10.1.1.1 point to the pool.

 

 

If you need to resolve the hostname customer.com dynamically you could use RESOLV::lookup to do this and then select the IP using the node command:

Hi Aaron,

 

 

What do you mean hardcode the IP address for the external customer.com site? you mean create an external VS that will serve external customer?

1) I will create a interval F5 VS 10.1.1.1 and create an irule that will redirect them to customer1.com? yes, i think it would work.

What do you mean hardcode the IP address for the external customer.com site? you mean create an external VS that will serve external customer? i understand Aaron means something like this.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual list
virtual internal_vip {
   snat automap
   pool external_site
   destination 10.1.1.1:80
   ip protocol 6
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool external_site list
pool external_site {
   members 172.28.19.251:80 {}
}
