Exclude subfolder from loadbalancing

you can do something like this. Note I used contains as it looks like that was not the full uri. If you have the full URI you can use equals.

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/admin/login/aspx" } { node } }

I have 4 pools, 2 are set up for round-robin, the other 2 have the same servers but use priority activation so only one is active at a time. This wiki markup is killing me, I don't have the patience for this junk today...

IRULE

Select non-loadbalanced pool or loadbalanced pool
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/path-not-loadbalanced/" } {
select proper non-loadbalanced pool
    if { [TCP::local_port] equals "443" } {
        pool nlb-https
}   else {
    pool nlb-http
}
}   else {
 select load balanced pool

if { [TCP::local_port] equals "443" } {
        pool lb-https
} else {
    pool lb-http
}}}

Hello Richard

Thx for your reply. For now it seems to work, here is the irule

     when HTTP_REQUEST {

        if   {[HTTP::uri] contains "/admin/login.aspx"} {
         node 192.168.1.20

        } else {pool magic_pool}
     }

Rickmmcl, you're on the right track I think, but you need to enable or disable a server SSL profile if you're going between HTTP and HTTPS pools. Add a server SSL profile to your VIP and an iRule like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/path-not-loadbalanced/" } {
        select proper non-loadbalanced pool
        if { [TCP::local_port] equals "443" } {
            pool nlb-https
        } else {
            pool nlb-http
            SSL::disable serverside
        }
    } else {
         select load balanced pool
        if { [TCP::local_port] equals "443" } {
            pool lb-https
        } else {
            pool lb-http
            SSL::disable serverside
        }
    }
}

And you should probably add a OneConnect profile as well.

I had some problems that we couldn't always login on the admin subsite. When we reached load balancer 1, the user was not be able to logon. This solved the problem:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

        if   {[HTTP::uri] contains "/admin/*"} {
         node 192.168.1.20 80

        } else {pool magic_pool}
     }
