Sting map! That's exactly what I needed! Thank you.

 

 

Now I'm having problem with adding records to the data-group (tmsh v10.2). Any format or syntax I seem to use tells me there is a problem. Even ? marking my way through, it seems I am doing it right, but it is still rejected. I was able to add records through the GUI but regular use of the GUI is not practical. Even showing the data-group after adding a record from the GUI and using that format yields syntax errors. Can someone provide the correct tmsh command syntax to create the above class or add records to it?

 

 

Thanks again!

It's a known tmsh bug in v10. I'm not as dumb as I look!

Also, FYI nitass. Your solution got me where I needed, but would result in an endless 302 redirect. Since it never changes /dir2/ it will always match and attempt to redirect. You have to match both:

 

 

"dir1/dir2/" { "/dir1/ /dir5/" }
