    Hi,

     

     

    You can use HTTP::uri "/new_uri" to rewrite the URI before the request is sent to the pool member. This change should be transparent to the user.

     

     

    However, I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do. Is www.blah.com being load balanced by the LTM? Or can it be? If so, you could transparently rewrite the request. If not, you'll need to stick with the redirection and the client will see the update to the URL in the address bar.
