Web Access By Replacing host

Hi all, I have an iRule that I am trying to use like this: in the browser you type in the URL like https://www.CompanyDomain.com/Branch1 and this URL should remain the same in the browser address...

Kevin,

 

you guys are pros in iRules and I am not even a beginner, so please take it easy on me :)

 

so I guess I should ask the question differently to save everybody's time.

 

so what is is the correct way (iRule) to allow a connection to an external URL that remains the same in the browser while BigIP accesses a different one in the back-end:

 

these are examples:

 

https://www.CompanyExternalDomain.com/App1.web/vDir/Branch1 BigIP in the back-end Connects to http://Server1.CompanyInternalDomain.com:1034/App1.web/vDir/Branch1

 

https://www.CompanyExternalDomain.com/App2.web/vDir/Branch2 BigIP in the back-end Connects to http://Server2.CompanyInternalDomain.com:1035/App2.web/vDir/Branch2

 

https://www.CompanyExternalDomain.com/App3.web/vDir/Branch3 BigIP in the back-end Connects to http://Server3.CompanyInternalDomain.com:1036/App3.web/vDir/Branch3

 

Not to mention that I was told that there's a bug in OS build 11.2.0 hot fix 7 and I am not really sure what to do about it, but I have a case open with F5 support for that.

 

this iRule is needed for a past due project and it's on-hold and will remain until I get this iRule in place and functional, so I really need help with it.

 

Thanks in advance.
