HTTP redirection when one server selected

There is a pool with 2 nodes in it. If the client is connecting to the first node then it should be served normally, but if client is connected to the second server then client should be redirected to http://second_node_ip/index.html

 

 

Can any one tell me how to write an irule for this. Thanks in advance !!

    See if this works for you:

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    Once pool member has been selected check if it's x.x.x.x

     

    if { [IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals x.x.x.x] } {

     

    HTTP::redirect "http://x.x.x.x/index.html"

     

    }

     

    }

     

     

    Info from https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.LB__server.ashx

    That Didn't worked Nathan. I am getting a connection reset page after putting that iRule.

    Do you need the redirect to go to the actual ip address or can the existing host just be used but adding the URI you mention above?

     

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    Once pool member has been selected check if it's x.x.x.x

     

    if { [IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals x.x.x.x] } {

     

    HTTP::uri "/index.html"

     

    }

     

    }
