website a is referecing website b - how do I handle this on the ltm

hi kevin it is not published externally on the ltm/apm

hmmm - apm portal solution? This is a special licensed option - isn't it?

the irule we use simple takes and replaces the external with the internal url (uri):

Code for the iRule DK_AE_IP_Based_VirtualHost:

when HTTP_REQUEST { Log debug messages to /var/log/ltm? 1=yes, 0=no. set host_debug 1

Need to force the host header replacement and HTTP:: commands into the clientside context as the HTTP_REQUEST_SEND event is in the serverside context

 if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[HTTP::host]: [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"}

   Look up the selected server name in the datagroup to get the right pool
  set pool_name_value [class match -value [HTTP::host] equals /dk_dmz/DK_AE_IP_pools_dg]

  if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Looked up [HTTP::host], found: $pool_name_value."}

   Check if the lookup returned a value
  if {$pool_name_value ne ""}{

      Replace pool
     pool $pool_name_value
     if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[HTTP::host]: Replaced default pool with $pool_name_value."}
  }

} Similar with the iRule for DK_AE_HostHEaderRewrite – here is the code:

when HTTP_REQUEST_SEND { Log debug messages to /var/log/ltm? 1=yes, 0=no. set host_debug 1

Need to force the host header replacement and HTTP:: commands into the clientside context as the HTTP_REQUEST_SEND event is in the serverside context clientside {

 if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[HTTP::host]: [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"}

   Look up the selected server name in the datagroup to get the host header value
  set host_header_value [class match -value [HTTP::host] equals /dk_dmz/DK_AE_host_rewrite_dg]

  if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Looked up [HTTP::host], found: $host_header_value."}

   Check if the lookup returned a value
  if {$host_header_value ne ""}{

      Replace the host header value
     HTTP::header replace Host $host_header_value
     if {$host_debug}{log local0. "[HTTP::host]: Replaced Host header with $host_header_value."}
  }

} }
