HTTP display assistance

I would simply attack the problem at the core. Have the redirected page "http://mssmaxweb01/MaximoSupport" accept requests with the FQDN.

I.E. supportmaximo.intranet.com and then change the irule to something like the following:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::host] contains "maximo.intranet.nrpc"} { 
    HTTP::redirect "http://supportmaximo.intranet.com/MaximoSupport"
    }
}

hope this help you out

Which part is misleading to the client? Redirects are basically a HTTP response to the browser with a new url to connect to. The client must be able to resolve the hostname in the url to be able to create a new connection. Are you saying that in your case, "mssmaxweb01" is not a valid hostname for the client to be able to resolve?

Since I don't totally understand your requirements, I'm shooting at the dark here, but there is another option. If your host mssmaxweb01 is hosted on the same backend servers that your iRule is serving to, you can just change the hostname/URI that is sent to the backend server to get it to "think" the browser sent that redirected request. Something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] contains "maximo.intranet.nrpc"} {
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "mssmaxweb01"
    HTTP::uri "/MaximoSupport"
  }
}

Not sure if this is applicable for you or not, but thought I'd bring it up.

Web01 still showing up in URL.

what is Web01 and where did it come from? You didn't mention that at all in your original post. If you could take a second and describe the entire process and that the outputs are and then your desired outputs, it will be much easier to help you.
