Check URI and then drop

The simplest approach might be something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { not ( [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/abc" ) } {
        drop
    }
}

You probably already have the pool defined in the virtual server, so you don't need to assign it here. The 'drop' command is also a bit harsh. You can instead either redirect the user (HTTP::respond 302 Location "blah"), or sending them some friendly HTML (HTTP::respond 200 content "go away!").

End it with.....

 

 

default {

 

reject

 

}

Personally I believe a switch would scale better and would be easier on the eyes

ltm rule ir_bdizzle {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        switch -glob  [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
            */enter/url/here* { pool pool_a_80 }
            */abc* { pool pool_abc_80 }
            default { drop }
        }
    }
}

Sweet!! thanks for the quick replies guys!!
