Redirection on CSS11500

[rob]

I have a pair of CSS11500 in redundancy mode across two sites. I have managed to get these working as a public shared service which sit on the dirty side of a pair of resillient firewalls so all services and vips need to be real address space. Can any one help me with the following issue....

Is it possible to have 2 content rules defined for one server so if they go to the url http://x.x.x.x they stay on the box but if they go to http://x.x.x.x/turkeyleg they get redirected to another server. Or would it be best to configure redirection on the server itself

Many thanks in advance

HI,

you can do both.

First if you have Layer4 Rules you have to do the redirection on the real servers.

Second if you have Layer7 Rules you can do this in my opinion on the CSS.

The question is what is easier way for you in regards of maintainance and possible troubelshooting.

Regards,

Joerg

Hi Joerg,

Thanks for the reply. Its a customers server so I would prefer to have it working through the CSS at layer 7.

However this is where Im having a few issues I cant seem to get a config that allows http to the url and redirects http to the url/folder to another machine

you can use a service type redirect to do this.

There is a nice document called "Configuring Redirects on the CSS 11000" that should help you.
