CirrostratusMasking a URL?
I have a customer who has a contract that is requiring that we hide what is essentially an internal URL. Right now when people go to the site they see: https://subdomain.companya.com

Nothing is imposible on F5 🙂
First of all, you need to configure your customer DNS to reach one F5's virtual server (subdomain.differentdomain.com).
This VS has to have a pool of nodes of the new domain (subdomain.companya.com).
After that, yo can replace the host header using an iRule like this.
when HTTP_REQUEST { # Check if requested host starts with subdomain.differentdomain.com if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "subdomain.differentdomain.com" } { # Replace the host header value with subdomain.companya.com HTTP::header replace Host "subdomain.companya.com" } }KR,

CirrostratusThanks, Dario.
So you are saying that the the Virtual Server the customer's are hitting initially would have to consist of the subdomain.companya.com Virtual Server, or it would need to have the actual pool members for subdomain.companya.com?
Hello gdoyle
If I understood well...
You want to hide this domain ->
subdomain.companya.com
And you want to show this domain instead ->
subdomain.differentdomain.com
For this reason, your configuration should be something like this:
CUSTOMER -> VS (subdomain.differentdomain.com) -> POOL (subdomain.companya.com)
In case you need something totaly opposite. you just have to replace one domain for another in the iRule and the schema.
KR,
Dario.
