Some guidance here. You can use iFiles on F5 to upload your HTML and then serve via an iRule. Easier to maintain!

Finally, you can use HTTP meta tags to try and have the browser auto redirect after a certain time period. Check out the previous post on this:

Using both resources, you should be able to set this up in no time 🙂

Thanks for the reply. Yes, totally agree, so a redirect is what was first thought, but we want users to update their bookmarks and give them some time to do that; we wont be keeping the old domain. So is it even possible to display the URI and or URL in the html code or would it be easier to just add a popup after redirected if they went to the old URL?

fwadmin I would recommend doing the popup on the receiving server so that your iRule remains simple. Remember, just because the F5 can do it doesn't mean it's the best option.
