JDE Redirects

1. Try this iRule with some logging:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Host = [HTTP::host]"
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "jde" } {
        log local0. "Catching jde short name - redirecting"
        HTTP::redirect "http://jde.example.com[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

Watch the logs and see what happens when you attempt access with the short name. Also, if you can take a client side Fiddler capture, that'll show what the browser is getting back.

2. So just to level set, you have a VIP listening on port 80, and an assigned pool of servers listening on port 94. Port and address translation are enabled. Is this all correct? If you take a capture between the BIG-IP and server I'm confident that you'll see it communicating on port 94. If that's also true, do you perhaps need to include the port in the address to the server? (Ex. http://IP:94/index.html).

Last, silly question, but does the "/jde/E1Menu.maf" URI actually exist on the server?
