ISAPI rewrite IRULE

We are looking to replace the ISAPI rewrite we currently use to redirect. You can read about the DLL here: http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/

 

 

Here is what we need to do. We are putting out a social networking site. In the raw, somebody's home page may be:

 

 

http://www.mysite.com/community/profile/home.cfm?id=123

 

 

We want the user to be able to have easier URLs to remember. For example, the user above would use http://profiles.mysite.com/joeuser without having to create all these directories, etc. Of course, the joeuser username would be connected to id of 123.

 

 

We are able to use the ISAPI rewrite dll to accomplish this but there are a lot of things we need to do to get it to work correctly....many complications.

 

 

Is there an easier way to do this using the IRULEs within the F5?

 

 

Thank you.
