help with hash
Hi All,
I have a customer using Big IP load balancer in front of our application. Our app is spread over 5 nodes and each node can handle some users (users are partitioned). In current configuration our app is failing because it recieves user requests on a round robin basis and not necessarily based on user partitions.
Reading through docs, looks like I can use iRule to figure out the user and direct the request to an appropriate app node. But I am not sure. The user id in our case is in Http payload (dont know exact byte location).
Can I use iRule to accomplish what I am trying to do? If so any help on how I could hash/mod to pick a node ? Is there a better way to accomplish this without using iRule?.
Any tips are appreciated. Thanks a lot
Regards
