Thanks for getting back to me Kevin, that clears up why this is happening and at least stops me digging for TCL escapes! If I understand correctly, I think what you are saying is:

 

  1. An iRule to redirect request to a landing page isn't a problem (and is what I already have)
  2. From there, because the system is using links with fragment identifiers it doesn't matter what I do in F5 because the browser will strip off that identifier before it even gets there. So F5 will always only just see

It sounds like I need to craft a different way of referencing those resources, other than the fragment identifier links, but I'm not sure how to do that!

 

Are you able to offer any tips/advice on how I can get around this please?
