The HTTP::redirect command is NOT transparent to clients. It will send a 302 redirect back to the client browser, changing the address bar. To transparently change the URI without the client seeing it, use the HTTP::uri command. - nitassbasically I have VIP in legacy floor which needs to send partial traiffic to another VIP for example application 1 while they are migration all applications to new servers.what is "another vip" indeed? is it another virtual server on the same or different bigip or something else?
if same, you may try "virtual" command.

if different, you may try "node" command.
