I have a client with a Big IP reverse proxy that generates a pop-up message, which the user needs to accept for outbound requests. I would like to setup a similar proxy for testing against on a dev server.
Is there a specific name for the feature that creates the pop-up message? Are there any open source solutions with a similar feature?
Thanks!
If it's a dev environment and BIG-IP is part of your solution stack, for $95 USD you can get a Developer license of BIG-IP. This will allow you to mirror production instances and configurations while keeping cost way down. I used to use staging BIG-IP environments for my development work but as it's staging, I was stepping on too many toes with config changes. The Dev license allows me to run a BIG-IP virtual in VMware Fusion and not bug anyone. I then run a secondary Dev BIG-IP on ESX that my team can share... works great and allows us to properly evaluate our app's traffic across what it will run in production.

Alternatively, can you put your dev instance behind the production BIG-IP and get a new virtual IP associated for you? That way you could reuse the pop-up iRule (assuming it's an iRule).
