If I understand you correctly you want the client to be directed to a particular pool or node based on IP addresses. Since you mentioned that there are multiple sites using Apache NameVirtual Hosts, the bigip needs additional information then the IP to determine which node or pool it needs to go to. My guess is you need to inspect the IP address and URI together and redirect them to the correct Host and uri

 

 

ie. http://192.168.12.2/site2/something.html ---> http://www.domain.com/site2/something.html

 

 

After that Apache will take over and get them to the correct spot.

 

 

Hope that helps
