    You can try and implement this iRule:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.mycompany.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.somewhereelse.com"
  }
}

    You will not need any pool for that. Just apply to the virtual server that handles www.mycompany.com. The client will resolve www.somewhereelse.com on his own and reconnect to the www.somewhereelse.com resource.

Hi,

 

I have created a VIP in F5 with (192.168.210.156) and attached the Irule with it.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www.somewhereelse.com/donate/test"

 

and it is working.

 

I cannot create the CNNAME but /done/test is not support in DNS server.

 

thanks for the prompt reply and solution.
