NimbostratusHow do I test to see which node from the pool
We have setup a testpool with 2 nodes
node-1 ip address is 172.16.1.12
node-2 ip address is 172.16.1.14
node-3 ip address is 172.16.1.16
We also setup a virtual server (ip = 172.16.1.5) so
our user can access through the browser that will
redirect to s specific url from one of the nodes created above. My question is how do I test the node
from the testpool so we can redirect to the specific url.
Can someone please explain to me what happened when the users hit http://172.16.1.5/ url
and how do I test which value from the testpool?
Thanks,

- I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you saying you want to direct traffic to a specific node in your pool based on what the url is given by the client?
Colin - Yes, I also want to know how direct traffic to a specific node in a pool based on what the url is. What command should I use for the node selection. Thanks!

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/node-1" } { use pool member 172.16.1.12 } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/node-2" } { use pool member 172.16.1.14 } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/node-3" } { use pool member 172.16.1.16 } }
So if your request began http://172.16.1.5/node-1/, you would select 172.16.1.12... - JRahmyou'll probably want to strip that /node-$x out before passing onto the server, unless that is a valid path...
- Unfortunately there isn't a way to specify members outside of specifying their address and ports.
You could store the values in a Data Group to basically name your own members and look them up with findstr (search the forums or the documentation for findstr to get some examples. The downside to this approach is that you'll have to make sure the data groups are in sync with your configuration.
