awesome. that works... BUT

 

 

 

I neglected to mention that the pool2:80 nodes for www.bar.com are backend-only servers that aren't visible externally.

 

 

So the re-direct part is working, but maybe I should have asked the question to differently, maybe it should have been "re-route the traffic"

 

 

Current traffic for http://www.foo.com/ gets redirected to https://www.foo.com/ on the backend server nodes in Pool1

 

 

Would like to have http://www.foo.com/bar re-route to the backend server nodes in Pool2 (basically this is a staging site that lives on a pool of 2 non-production servers that we'd like to make visible to customers for design review)

 

 

So the URL they would hit (http://www.foo.com/bar) points to http://backend_pool2/

 

 

does that make any sense?
