destination ip redirection

Could you supply a bit more information? For instance, what do the requests look like? Do you need to redirect based on the IP-address or the path?

Apologies the dev central mail got quarantined, hence the slowness of response I am trying to do the following

Translation of URL containing a store Id to private IP inside our network, ie. the Server will send a request to the F5 Vip, within the url will be the store ID, I then want the F5 to look up the stor ID and forward the request to the correct store IP The URL will look like -> https://10.226.1.10/rest/of/url -> https://10.226.1.20/rest/of/url There will be approx 200 stores

Store Id Store private IP 0001 10.226.1.10 0002 10.226.1.20 0003 10.226.1.30 etc

e.g.

 configuration

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80

  }
}
}

        }

I notice that you do not have a pool associated with your virtual server, however I am unable to create a virtual server without a pool.

why not?

I thought I had this working but actually although the script runs It then uses the associated pool and load balances the connections in the normal manner

can you try to add oneconnect profile and see if it makes any difference?

Hi

Ok I will have to come clean I had the the mappings in the data group as "1234" instead of "/1234/" So the script ran and of course never found a resolution. As you had made this clear in your config above it was a stupid mistake.

Interestingly I am now able to remove the pool ?? Although I have rewritten the script to check the pool as I think this may be a better option for us.

Many thanks for your help without which I probably would still be running around in circles
