Reverse Proxy replacement
Hey guys.
I am trying to help a customer replace the Netscape reverse proxy with BigIP. They are looking at a lot of other services on BigIP too, this just adds to the value proposition. Anyway, on with the show...
Customer requests a site:
www.company.com
request is sent to the RP. The RP does a redirect to:
http://www.company
RP does an internal DNS lookup on:
http://www.company
This is internal name resolve only and serves the connection.
I can see a couple of ways to do this with standard re-write options in the BigIP or by iRule, but what is throwing me is getting the name resolution portion. I saw a iRule that does this without DNS. I am looking for this with DNS.
There are about 15 different URL's for me to do so a modular approach to this would be great if the rule would look long and drawn out.
Thanks in advance,
T
