Aug 15, 2008Serving wpad.dat with F5?
Hello.
Maybe wrong area, but I'm trying to find out, is it possible to use F5 himself as web server, to serve text based file like wpad.dat or cache.pac for clients?

I still am not clear on whether you want to send the response for all requests that get to the virtual server, or only some requests based on whether the client made a request with a specific host header or URI.
Aaron Thank You been patient.
The case - it should act like normal web server, for example, I have IP address 172.17.1.1 and DNS A records wpad.internal and cache.internal which points to this IP address. This IP address is listen web server:80 and there are one file wpad.dat and symlink cache.pac, which points to wpad.dat.
So accessing http://wpad.internal/wpad.dat or http://cache.internal/wpad.dat or http://wpad.internal/cache.pac or http://cache.internal/wpad.dat gives always the same and identical result, but accessing anything else, like http://wpad.internal or http://cache.internal gives error, and same result also with http://wpad.internal/some or http://cache.internal/test etc.
