i-rule to force traffic to one Pool Member unless it fails

Hey Darren,

 

 

Sorry for the delay in replying to your other posts. I'll try to answer this one and then read through the others in more detail. Does this sound like an accurate description of your scenario?

 

 

You have a wildcard virtual server listening on an internal VLAN for traffic on port 80. It load balances traffic without destination address translation to a pool of Bluecoat web proxies. Clients have their browsers configured with the virtual server as their proxy server. When they establish a connection to the virtual server, the destination IP is the virtual server and the URI is a fully qualified URL for the end destination server.

 

 

If that sounds accurate, then I think you'd need to add an HTTP profile to the virtual server and parse the [HTTP::uri] value for the FQDN of the destination to see if it's your own special site. For those requests, you could send them to the specific pool member. For all other requests, you'd use the virtual server's default pool.

 

 

If that looks about right, I can write up an example iRule.
