HTTP forward to Pool not working as expected

Hi, I am attempting to set up an iRule that forwards requests to our pool of sorry servers when there are no active members in the load balanced server pool.     As you can see by the logs if no...

If you're using cookie persistence you should definitely enable OneConnect on the virtual server as Chris suggested. If you're using SNAT then you can use the default OneConnect profile with a 0.0.0.0 source mask. Without SNAT on the virtual server, you should create a custom OneConnect profile with the source mask set to 255.255.255.255. See the article Chris linked to for details.

 

 

Also, if you set persist to none for one case, you should explicitly set persistence in the other case. This is because the persist command takes effect for the duration of the connection.

 

 

And just a small edit on your rule, Chris. This:

 

 

if { [active_members [$default_pool]] < 1 } {

 

 

should be:

 

 

if { [active_members $default_pool] < 1 } {
