Option 1: 302 Redirects
302 Redirect Logic
When the client connects to www.domain.com, the LoadMaster sends a 302 redirect to the client and tells the client to connect to the new domain. This is also used for redirecting HTTP to HTTPS. With this option, the client sees the change in the browser.
Syntax
In the Virtual Service modify screen: Advanced Properties -> Not Available Redirection Handling.
Error code: 302 found
Redirect URL: http://www.newdomain.com
or for HTTP to HTTPS: https://%h%s
Replace with Host/Domain: %h
Replace with URL/Directory/Path: %s
Example: %h and %s are replaced with http://www.newdomain.com/test/index.html
Option 2: Rewrite the URL
Logic
Match on host and replace host with new host details. With this option, the client does not see the change in the browser.
Syntax
Rule: Replace Header
Header: Host
Match String: /^www\.domain\.com$/
Replace with: www.newdomain.com
