Https URL masking and redirection

Question

Here is the task at hand.&nbsp;
User is hitting &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; https://abc.com         &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; VIP X.X.X.X&nbsp;
Now in browser, above URL must REDIRECT to BACKGROUND Url; and he should see the FOREGROUND URL only.&nbsp;
In background &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; https://XYZ.com/Maintenance/html/UnderMaintenance.html     &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; VIP Y.Y.Y.Y&nbsp;
In foreground &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; https:/abc.com/Maintenance/html/UnderMaintenance.html&nbsp;
Kindly help making a simple Irule for this.&nbsp;
Cheers!!!

If you want to mask the URL change to the user, then you shouldn't issue any kind of HTTP redirect.  That will change what the user sees in their browser.  WLB is correct, just use a URL masking type iRule.  Kevin just posted an example here:&nbsp;
