Hi Annsar,

If you want to forward URIs with 5 or more path segments to a different pool, then take a look to the iRule below...

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/test/" ) and ( [llength [split [HTTP::path] "/"]] > 5 ) } then {

    } else {
        pool DEFAULTPOOL
    }
}

Note: I hope that I got the point of your question? If not then please clarify the question a little bit more detailed with some samples URIs...

Cheers, Kai
