Hi,

You can't achieve what you are expecting without using iframes. But I strongly discourage you to use them for security reasons.

You can instead redirect to a relative path and then forward the request to the correct backend server :

when HTTP_REQUEST { 

    if { [HTTP::host] contains "buyer.abc.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/" } {
        HTTP::redirect "/apm/rest/MOBILITY/authService/1.0" 
        return
    }
    if {[HTTP::host] contains "buyer.abc.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/apm/rest/MOBILITY/authService/1.0"} {
        node myserver01 9001
        return 
    }
}
