NimbostratusBig-IP LTM - load balancing incoming request to 2 different 'paths' on Member Pool
Hi chris_wood ,
What I understood , you need to redirect any incoming request ( http://example1 )
to (https://example1/folder/folder/server1) and (https://example1/folder/folder/server2)
at the same time and forward it to two different servers at the same time as well.
Interesting , could you please clarify more , to figure out your request
NimbostratusHi Mohamed,
Thanks for your reply.
Basically, we want to load balance (round robin for e.g) to 2 servers in the member pool - but before passing it on to the servers, we need the Virtual Server to re-write the URL path to a different specific folder on each server:
- if going to server 1 (https://server1/folder/folder/server1)
- if going to server 2(https://server1/folder/folder/server2)
The reading I've done so far suggests when we use the HTTP::redirect iRule, the F5 replies directly to the client and doesn't load balance (even then sending to 2 different locations is a big ask).
In the mean time, we are looking into completing this task using re-directs on the individual servers, as I think that makes more sense.
