Option 1: 302 Redirects
Logic
When the client connects to www.domain.com/test, 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/newtestpage
or for HTTP to HTTPS: https://%h/newtestpage
Replace with Host/Domain: %h
Example: %h is replaced with http://www.newdomain.com
Option 2: Rewrite the URL
Logic
Match on the URL and replace it with a new URL. With this option, the client does not see the change in the browser.
For example, if a client is requesting http://www.newdomain.com/test and you want to change this to http://www.newdomain.com/newpage..
