If you just want to redirect all requests made to the root document to /citrix/metaframe/ then you can use option 1 above. If you want to redirect all requests that don't start with /citrix/metaframe/ to /citrix/metaframe/ you can use option 2.

 

 

Knowing which option is better depends on the application and what else the server is used for. If every request made to the VIP should start with /citrix/metaframe/ then option 2 is a more complete solution.

 

 

You could try testing the VIP with the two rules and see which one provides you with better functionality.
