Apr 20, 2012iRule and Host Headers
So with apache, you can list *.mydomain.com and apache will answer for all requests comming in that match the wildcard + mydomain.com. No such luck with IIS7. Is there anyway through iRules to match a wildcard domain, but keep the wildcard domain name in the URL (so the client doesn't know the difference) but pass the correct host header to the webservers.
so request for bloging.mydomain.com comes in.
The F5 passes www.mydomain.com to the webserver,
the webserver sees www.mydomain.com in its host header,
it passes back the next page, link, etc.
the F5 passes back the page, but displays the URL bloging.mydomain.com to the client...
possible? impossible?
