BIPIP replace mod_proxy module in a Apache

We are using the mod_proxy module to proxy URLs. I would like to configure BIGIP to function the same. I have configure a redirect and it is currently working.

 

 

if (http_uri contains "website") {

 

redirect to "https://abc.mydomain.com/home"

 

}

 

else {

 

use pool websrv_pool

 

}

 

 

Once the client is redirected to the new URL the original URL is gone. I would like to redirect the client to the new site but show the original URL request. example www.mydomain.com redirect to abc.mydomain.com but return to client www.mydomain.com.

    To quote mmac from an earlier post:

     

     

     

    This is unfortunately not possible. BIG-IP v4.x supports HTTP redirection but does not allow any HTTP request modification (other than header insertion and/or removal). BIG-IP v9.x allows arbitrary modification of HTTP requests and responses (and much more).
