URL Vanity redirects

I've been going through a lot of different threads in DevCentral but most answer seem pretty old. I have a request to do a vanity URL redirect. For example, the client types site1.company1.com in the browser and the F5 redirects that to site2.company2.com, but in the client browser it still shows site1.company1.com..

 

Thanks

Jim

    If you don’t want to change client side host value, this is not redirect but rewrite.

     

    In HTTP, redirect means the server (or the bigip) send a 30X response with the new URL...

     

    in in the browser, for security reasons, the new URL appears...

     

    to rewrite url, use a rewrite profile with mode url translation
