Inbound ftp request on different pools

How can I create a ftp irule that intercepts requests to different domain names on different pools?

example:

 

if the ftp request is for domain "testdomain.com -->go to the pool ftp-test

 

if the ftp request is for domain "testdomain1.com -->go to the pool ftp-test1

 

 

I can't use "when client accepted" because I don't know the client ip address.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot

    Hi,

     

     

    There isn't a concept of a host header which the client sets when establishing an FTP session. So the client may use any hostname they want, but it's translated to an IP address and the server never knows what hostname the client made the request to. The only way I can think of to do this is to use a separate virtual server for each ftp pool.
