Different Protocol ( https vs. http)

 

this is done on the 1st f5 by assigning clientssl profile to virtual server. clientside will be https but serverside will be http.

 

Different Hostname ( www.mysite.com vs. news.bizsite.com)

 

you can change hostname using HTTP::header replace on either the 1st f5 or 2nd f5.

 

HTTP::header

Different Port : 443 vs. 8080

 

this is translated by virtual server and pool configuration.

 

everything after the "/help/site1" is passed to the the target webserver.

 

similar to hostname, uri can be changed using HTTP::uri.

 

HTTP::uri

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.http__uri.ashx

 

Users\Internet browser should only see "https://www.mysite.com/help/site1/..." and NOT the HTTP://news.bizsite.com:8080/ehelp/microsites

 

address in browser won't be changed unless there is redirection.

Hi Nitass, Thanks for the assistance. Would very much appreciate if you can provide the iRule syntax since I have a very little room for error as this will be done in Production environment. Thanks, Edward
