How could I switch node permantly for given client session

Hi,

 

I have the need to implement the following solution:

 

My pool could have more than 1 nodes. Any node can serve the request, but when start session request comes then I want to switch the node to the node specified by request parameter (for e.g. node2) and hence forth all the request from this client session will always be routed to selected node (i.e. node2)

 

I looked at the node command but it only routes the current request not the future request coming from this client.

 

Please suggest.

    You need to persist your traffic for client session. What type of application you are using e.g if you are using any Java Web App in tomcat then you can use JSESSIONID persistence to maintain any given session. Consult to following solution and let me know if you need any further help. http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/300/sol7392.html
