URL Replacement

Hi guys,

 

Looking for some pointers. I have a VIP which services 2 pool members and the goal is the following:

 

When the F5 receives the HTTP request : http://webtest.com:8001/{WebservicePath}

 

Replace the 'webtest.com' with the IP address of the pool member - i.e http://10.1.1.1:8001/{WebservicePath}

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated at this time of year :-)

    Why do you want to replace the host header with the IP of the pool member ? Can't you configure the server to handle requests for that domain ? Although it looks feasible, it will be tough to scale and you will end up having issues with maintaining such a set up.
