NimbostratusRedirection and DNS Masking
I am having problems implementing an iRule to solve the following situation:
Customer has 2 sites; a.b.com and y.z.com. Both sites are hosted on the F5 and have functioning VIPs. We are trying to redirect a URI string of http://a.b.com/apply to https://y.z.com, while maintaining the a.b.com/apply host name.
So far this is what I have done.
On a.b.com I have applied an irule(Rule 1) that redirects traffic to https://a.b.com/abc/common/Pages/welcome.aspx. if the URI matches "/apply"
On the https://a.b.com VIP i have applied a rule(Rule 2) that says if the URI matches "/abc/common" use pool y.z.com. Rule 1 is working fine, the redirection happens no problem. Rule 2 is throwing a connection was reset in the browser. I am at a loss here any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
Rule 1:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {
[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/apply"} {
HTTP::redirect "https://a.b.com/abc/Pages/welcome.aspx" }
}
Rule 2:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {
[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc/common/" } {
pool y.z.com
}
}

Jomar_46001Chris, thanks again for the help. It looks like the problem was that site a.b.com had a SSL server side profile(which is unusual for our environment). We quickly set up a node that listens on 443 with a self-signed cert, put it into a pool and were able to make a connection.
If you hadn't told me to take a look at the differences in the VIPs I wouldn't have caught the profile.- Chris_Miller

Glad you found the issue! I figured it was a port/server issue based on the connection reset.
