HTTP redirection
Another attribute of a pool is HTTP redirection. HTTP redirection allows
you to configure a pool so that HTTP traffic is redirected to another protocol
identifier, host name, port number, or URI path. For example, if all members
of a pool are unavailable (that is, the members are disabled, marked down,
and have exceeded their connection limit), the HTTP request can be
redirected to the fallback host, with the HTTP reply Status Code 302
Found.
When configuring a pool to redirect HTTP traffic to a fallback host, you can
use an IP address or a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), or you can use
a special format string included in the BIG-IP. These format strings can also
be used for specifying protocol identifiers, ports, and URIs.
The following two sections describe these two ways of redirecting HTTP
requests. Following these two sections is a description of a related feature,
which allows you to configure a server to rewrite the specified HTTP
redirection.
