Nimbostratushttp_header persistence
Hi All,
I would like to use the persistence http_header feature from the 4.5x on the 9.0.4, this should be done somehow via universal persistence and a special iRule, does someone knows how to do this?
Some more details :
We have a header that looks like "X-FORWARDED-FOR = 172.16.16.16" where 172.16.16.16 can be any ip address.
On the 4.5.x there was a persistence called http_header, where we could load balance on the value of the header. So that we load balance on the ip address specified in the header. So
X-FORWARDED-FOR=172.16.16.16 would go to the first server of the pool
X-FORWARDED-FOR=172.16.16.17 would go to the second server of the pool
X-FORWARDED-FOR=172.16.16.18 would go to the third server of the pool
X-FORWARDED-FOR=172.16.16.17 again should need to go again to the second server of the pool
Can someone help me with creating an iRule like this?

Jeroen
Jeroen_De_Wildehi,
I managed to find the solution myself :
The iRule to use is :
rule httpheader_persist {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
persist uie [HTTP::header "X-FORWARDED-FOR"]
}
}
Regards,
Jeroen
