    Hi Frank,

    yes, you can do it with an iRule.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

    if { [HTTP::uri] contains "abc" } {

     pool pool1

    } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "cde" } {

     pool pool2

    }

    }

    Done some modification in above irule. Rest every thing is correct.

         when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc"} {
          pool pool1 }
        elseif {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/def"} {
           pool pool2 }
    }

      Instead of using iRules, you can also use a ltm policy, which makes it more visible:

       

      Name: select_pool Requires: http Controls: forwarding

       

      Rule: forward_pool1 Condition: http-uri starts_with /abc Action: forward pool pool1 Rule: forward_pool2 Condition: http-uri starts_with /def Action: forward pool pool2

       

      It may require some more configuring then using an iRule but instead of using TCL code, you get an clear overview what the policy does.

    Assuming that you have configured default pool within the VS configuration, you can use an iRule like this modified from @jhass' iRule:

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool]
}    

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc"} {
pool pool1 
} elseif {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/def"} {
pool pool2 
} else { 
pool DEFAULT_POOL
}
}
