subdomain redirect question

Issue: I have a domain foo.com. foo.com and www.foo.com need to be redirected to www.bar.com/foo. However, users.foo.com needs to be redirected to sub.bar.com/account/login. My irules look as such:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::host] eq "users.foo.com"} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://sub.bar.com/account/login/"

 

}

 

elseif {[HTTP::host] contains "foo.com"} {

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bar.com/foo"

 

}

 

 

When I go to foo.com or www.foo.com it will redirect to http://www.bar.com/foo. However, when I go to users.foo.com, it doesn't go to http://sub.bar.com/account/login but rather goes to http://www.bar.com/foo. Is there a special way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    That looks OK to me, you can try adding logging to see if the host is really showing up as you expect: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HTTP::host] eq "users.foo.com"} { 
      log local0. "Found users in [HTTP::host]" 
      HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://sub.bar.com/account/login/" 
 } 
    elseif {[HTTP::host] contains "foo.com"} { 
    log local0. "Did not find users in [HTTP::host]" 
    HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.bar.com/foo" 
 }

    The logs will show up in /var/log/ltm.
