Rewrite rule forward to specific domain and port

i have a an alias in dns to handle that translation and that appears to be working.

 

 

I added the log statements (thanks for that) and it appears that the header is not getting re-written. the log reports this:

 

 

Oct 2 15:26:17 local/tmm3 info tmm3[5303]: Rule portral-dev : changing uri to /Portal/index.html

 

Oct 2 15:26:17 local/tmm3 info tmm3[5303]: Rule portral-dev : incoming host header = abc-news.east.foo.com

 

Oct 2 15:26:17 local/tmm3 info tmm3[5303]: Rule portral-dev : incoming host header = abc-news.east.foo.com

 

Oct 2 15:26:17 local/tmm1 info tmm1[5301]: Rule portral-dev : incoming host header = abc-news.east.foo.com

 

Oct 2 15:26:17 local/tmm2 info tmm2[5302]: Rule portral-dev : incoming host header = abc-news.east.foo.com

 

 

abc-news.east.foo.com this does not seem to be getting re-written to server.nbc-news.west.foo.com:7012

 

 

I'm using this rule:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

log local0. "uri = [HTTP::uri]"

 

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

 

log local0. "changing uri to /Portal/index.html"

 

HTTP::uri "/Portal/index.html"

 

}

 

log local0. "incoming host header = [HTTP::header Host]"

 

HTTP::header replace Host "server.nbc-news.west.foo.com:7012"

 

}

 

 

Any Ideas ? Thought that the "header replace Host" would do it but it seem like it's not
