URL Vanity redirects

I've been going through a lot of different threads in DevCentral but most answer seem pretty old. I have a request to do a vanity URL redirect. For example, the client types site1.company1.com in the browser and the F5 redirects that to site2.company2.com, but in the client browser it still shows site1.company1.com..

 

Thanks

Jim

  • If you don’t want to change client side host value, this is not redirect but rewrite.

     

    In HTTP, redirect means the server (or the bigip) send a 30X response with the new URL...

     

    in in the browser, for security reasons, the new URL appears...

     

    to rewrite url, use a rewrite profile with mode url translation
