How to set the URI when nodes use Apache NameVirtualHost directive
I have a client that has several sites on their server farms. These sites are not separated out and running on different IP's or ports, but rather use the Apache NameVirtualHost directive. This looks at the URI that the client is requesting, and sends them to the correct site.
Sometimes clients access the site by IP. Requests going to port 80 need to redirect to 443. Additionally, even if the client is using SSL (which terminates on the LTM), the connection made from the LTM to the node is just over port 80. I need to make sure the correct URI is sent to the node when the client connects by typing in an IP only.
What is the best way to go about this?
