Oh wow, the "Parameter Value Subsititution" is exactly what I need to do. (I never looked at that feature before!!)

 

Unfortunately, it looks like it's designed to only work on HTML pages... the app I'm working with happens to be an api that returns xml or json data.

 

Bummer! Is there any way to tweak it to work with other content types? or is it specifically looking for "a href=" HTML tags?

 

 

I might have no choice but to do the VIP idea.

 

This did occur to me before, and I tried something similar that didn't work: I created a "B" vip on port 8080 with WAM enabled and pointed the http profile on vip A to a pool consisting of a node pointing to the 8080 port of vip B. The traffic never got to B.

 

Can you point me in the right direction on how to set that up? Does it need to be a different type of vip like forwarding (i did as standard)?
