Reverse proxy - transparency to client
Good day F5ers. I am still looking for a solution to my customers request. Here is what they want me to do, and I have no idea where to start, or if its at all possible.
Here goes. They want us to reverse proxy only an external blog to our internal website. For instance:
The domain example (internal site): www2.hogleg.com The blog site (external): www.topquartile.com
So when a client clicks on the blog link for www2.hogleg.com it takes them to www2.hogleg.com/en-us/blog/topquartile/, but they dont want to URL to change, yet pull the blog from an external site ( SO when you go to www2.hogleg.com/en-us/blog/topquartile/, you will actually be on but you will appear to be at ww2.hogleg.com/en-us/blog/topquartile/.
One more thing. I was going to do this by adding the external server to a pool and then point at the pool for /en-us/blog/topquartile/, but the external server is shared, and I cannot get to it by IP, only DNS name. I would assume need to reverse proxy this, but I think there is some header manipulation too. Can someone give me an idea of where to start? Thanks F5ers.
