Hi,

 

That is for sure not result of posted iRule. It has to be result of backend server response.

 

Try to trace session via tcpdump or better Wireshark (on client for example) and see what is BIG-IP (or rather backend server) response to your GET request.

 

Only reason to see changed URL in browser is if backend serwer is sending redirect with Location header containing http://1.1.1.1/insight or there are some hard coded references to http://1.1.1.1/insight in returned page (my guess, not sure if this can cause such situation as well).
