    Hi,

     

    if you are using an irule to do redirects, you just need to add a peace of code on the top of the irule to redirect the user in every condition like this :

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        HTTP::respond 302 Location "https:://www.example.com/" Connection Close
        return
}

    You add those two lines at the top of the irule and all requests should be redirected to https://www.example.com. If you need to keep the original uri, you can change the redirect command by this one :

     

        HTTP::respond 302 Location "https:://www.example.com/[HTTP::uri]" Connection Close

    If you are using LTM policies, you can add a rule at the top of your rule set to redirect all requests to the desired host

     

    And finally, you can shutdown your assigned pool and add a fallback url in your http profile assigned to the Virtual Server.

Can you share an anomized example of your configuration ? Are you requesting to redirect traffic from all Virtual Servers or just one ?

 

Do you have all redirects in an irule, ltm policy or something else ?
