Feb 08, 2004Force node selection on the URL
Hi,

Here is one option:
1. Create 2 pools, one for each webserver. Call these pools webserver1 and webserver2.
2. Create a Rule to switch on the http_uri. Call this "node_switcher"
if (http_uri ends_with "webserver1") {
use pool webserver1
}
else {
if (http_uri ends_with "webserver2") {
use pool webserver2
}
else {
discard
}
}
3. Create the VIP based on the Rule "node_switcher".
Now When the a request comes in to the specified VIP, it will be processed by the rule and forwarded to either the webserver1 or webserver2 pool (or be discarded - you might want to change this behavior).
Hope this helps.
Since this is more of a BIG-IP configuration question (not iControl related), I'd recommend you contact F5 Customer Support (or take a look at the Solution Center) directly.
