NimbostratusFTP "host header" to pool
Hi there,
i want to have multiple ftp services running on one virtual server (one IP). With an irule the services should be sent to different pools.
Example:
supportftp.xy.com -> pool1
customerftp.xy.com -> pool2
gamesftp.xy.com -> pool3
I know how to do that with http. You can make a "if http header then ...".
But is there a way with ftp too?? I supose the http header comand will not work

Andy_Herrman_22I don't think FTP has any kind of headers. The actual data in the network streams don't include the host it's connecting to anywhere (as far as I can determine). I'm not sure if there's anything in the connection that you could use to determine which hostname was used, as I believe FTP just resolves the hostname to an IP and uses that to connect.
You'd probably have to have different virtual servers (different IPs), or use different ports for each.
Ingo_37166Okay, thanks guys! I think i will jut put all the FTPs to different existing virtuall adresses. Seems to be the easiest way.
I do not want to analyse the TCP stream (this time ...).
Thanks, Ingo
