As soon as you do a 301 Redirect the traffic is gone and can no longer be affected by this iRule.

 

 

 

For example, www.test.com/test1/hello would redirect to www.testone.com/hello because test1 is a keyword. I haven't even got to the part where I remove the keyword from the URI though, I can't even preserve the URI after the redirection so far! With the code below, it doesn't append the URI to the new site (www.test.com/test1/hello just goes to www.testone.com, for example).

 

 

 

It is going to be impossible to mask a URI on a redirect. You can mask it to the server, but on the initial request it is going to have to be there.
