Redirect traffic from an old site to an existing

Question

How can I setup an iRule on F5 to redirect users of a site (acquired) to another site? &nbsp;
example: Site A (push.apple.com) has its own VIP on the F5. Site B (blackberry.com) has its VIP on the same F5. We want to reclaim the VIP from Site A after we have successfully redirected users to Site B.&nbsp;
Do we need to create a CNAME for Site A on Site B and then use a redirect so that users won't see Site A on their browsers but instead Site B. &nbsp;

Hi
You can use irule to redirect http 301 to the site B . i suppose you are retiring the site A .&nbsp;
Irule:&nbsp;
When HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP:HOST]] equals "push.apple.com"} {
HTTP:respond 301 Location "blackberry.com"
}&nbsp;

Hi SynACk,

Yes, we're retiring Site A but we'd want to reclaim the VIP assigned to it and repurpose. Do we still need to do any DNS changes?
