NimbostratusRewriting http header with virtual hosts
Hello,
We are trying to figure out an iRule that will make the load balancer send the fqdn host name (www.example.com) in the request back to the server. Requests that come in to this vip can have 6 different urls, all of which reside on the same web server and on the same ip address. The web server will send back the correct page only when the specific host in the url is requested.
Any assistance on the writing of this iRule?

Post back to that thread if you have any questions.
-Brian- Ralph,
I'm not sure I understand the problem you're encountering. The fully qualified domain name should always be contained in the request to the server as a part of the HTTP HOST header.
So long as you have your web server configured to serve pages for all of the domains in question, there shouldn't be an issue. The BIG-IP will simply forward the packet on to the web server, domain name and all.
If you're trying to rewrite the URL in some way, that's something that can certainly be handled by iRules, but we'll need a little further information.
Thanks!

Ralph_Bonnell_1Ok, thanks. We most likely have a network issue then. I had an impression the http headers were modified.- No worries Ralph, let me know if you have any further questions!
