NimbostratusSimple URL redirect?
I've read the irule samples, but they're not very intuitive. All I want to do is take a simple incoming internal url such as http://Alias and then redirect it to http://ActualServerName.internal.com:8102/blah/blah/TheEnd
I'd like the end user to only see http://Alias and not the internal server name/paths.
Is this easily done with an irule? If so, any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks! Dave

What you're looking for is not so much a redirect as it is the ability to proxy a request for http://alias to http://ActualServerName.internal.com:8102/blah/blah/TheEnd without their knowledge. The good news is that there's an iRule to do this here:
http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/ProxyPass.html
The rule is a little long - jump past it to the description to see if this is what you're looking for functionally. If you're at all familiar with apache-style ProxyPass, it'll look familiar. 
dkraut_23236thanks jquinby, that looks like it will accomplish what I need, but my brain almost exploded while trying to decipher that irule! lol. I imagine that I only need a small portion of it along with a data group?- I would go with the whole thing (and the data group).
