URL Rewrite without Redirect

Hi rglaue,

thank you for your suggestion. But this won't work I think, because the Client would "see" the change... there is an reconnect happening, or am I wrong?

In the end, there will be one SSL connection to somesite.com with just one SSL-certificate (which signed somesite.com) and the iRule should get the application content from othersite.com. So the loadbalancer may not redirect to an other adresse, because the SSL-tunnel would be dropped. But thank you for your advise!

Can you just set up a pool, put "www.somesiteB.com:4444" in it, and then send the web user connection to that pool with an iRule?

Create a pool with the node: www.somesiteB.com:4444

Create a virtual server that responds on an IP that the domain "www.somesitea.com" will resolve to.

Add the loadBalancingiRule iRule to this virtual server.

  
 rule loadBalancingiRule {  
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
 set http_host [string trim [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]]  
 set http_host [string tolower $http_host]  
 if { $http_host equals "www.somesitea.com" } {  
 pool somesiteB_pool  
 return  
 } else {  
 HTTP::respond 404 content {  
   
 Not Found  
   
 Not Found  
   
   
 }  
 }  
 }  
 }
