Blocking a country and sending request to a pool

Hi Christer,

Yes, you can replace the HTTP::redirect with a pool statement.

For 9.4.4+ make sure to reference datagroups without the $:: or :: prefix. Else, the lookup will fail in 10.x. Also, you can replace matchchlass with class:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    Check once per TCP connection if the country for the client IP is in the blocked country datagroup
   if { [class match [whereis [IP::client_addr] country] eq blocked_countries] } { 
      pool blocked_pool
   } else {
      pool  [LB::server pool]
   }
}
