iRule re-write to replace ISAPI re-write

Hi Xin,

 

 

Can you elaborate on your question? LTM typically doesn't deal with DNS resolution. If the hostnames resolve to the VIP address (or an IP address which is NAT'd to the VIP address), the request will get to LTM. LTM won't do hostname to IP address resolution unless you specifically configure this using NAME:: commands in an iRule (Click here).

 

 

You're specifying where to send requests based on the Host header value in the client request. So you're controlling where the request is sent based on the requested hostname. This is independent of DNS name resolution.
