Use F5 for mass URI rewrites

Hi there,

 

 

For a large number of rewrites, it would be most efficient to use a datagroup (called a class in the bigip.conf) and reference the class in an iRule. This allows you to separate the configuration of the rewriting from the iRule which performs the rewrites. If you want to give developers control over the configuration, but not the iRule, you could create a separate program or web application which uses iControl (a management API into the LTM) to change the datagroup contents.

 

 

The iRule would be fairly straightforward. You could use the findclass command (Click here) to look up the requested URI and get the rewrite target. There are a lot of examples in this forum to get started. If you have any questions/issues there are plenty of people here who can help.
