Redirect or Reverse Proxy or ??
I'm extremely new to the F5 community and fairly new to NLB in general..
I've got a secure web site live at one datacenter https://www.mine.com and we'll be moving this to a new data center ...

Hi Steve,
I think I understand what you are after following your second explanation, but correct me if I am wrong. Do you you want your traffic to go like this:
DNS -> IP Address at DC2 -> DC1 for application content
If that is the case then consider / test this this:
On the DC2 Virtual Server configure SNAT Automap.
In the Pool that the DC2 Virtual Server is configured to use, add the IP Address of the application at DC1.
Verify that when you access the Virtual Server IP Address at DC2, that the content is pulled from DC1.
If testing successful, point your DNS to the Virtual Server IP Address at DC2 until your migration has been completed.
This would negate the need for a redirect, but you are going to want to test it to make sure that everything works as designed (with the additional latency which can and will vary).
Hope this helps.
