NimbostratusiRule - Direct traffic to specific pools based on host and URI
Good Afternoon,
I am struggling to find a winning combination for the following process.
The default Virtual Server pool is different and required for all other sites.
Step 1 - The website www.communigator.co.uk to use Pool_Website
Step 2 - Any website with the /LZ/ in the URi to us Pool_Landing_64
Step 3 - The web site www.communigator.co.uk with URI /login to use Pool_Admnin_64
I can get the site to hit the pool in step 1 but I get mixed response from when I try and add step 2 and 3.
Here is the syntax so far.
when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/login"} { pool Pool_Admin_64 }
if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/lz/*"} {
pool Pool_Landing_64 }
if { [HTTP::host] eq "www.communigator.co.uk"} {
pool Pool_Website }
}
Regards, Stuart

Maybe something like this would help?
when HTTP_REQUEST { set debug 1 set client_info "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::remote_port]: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" if { $debug } { log local0. "$client_info requests [HTTP::host] and [HTTP::uri]" } if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/login" } { if { $debug } { log local0. "$client_info - line 9 selected - pool is Pool_Admin_64" } pool Pool_Admin_64 } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/lz/" } { if { $debug } { log local0. "$client_info - line 14 selected - pool is Pool_Landing_64" } pool Pool_Landing_64 } elseif { [getfield [string tolower [HTTP::host]] ":" 1] eq "www.communigator.co.uk"} { if { $debug } { log local0. "$client_info - line 19 selected - pool is Pool_Website" } pool Pool_Website } else { if { $debug } { log local0. "$client_info - line 24 selected - No Match, using default" } }}- The [HTTP::host] can look like www.example.com:80 which is why we need the getfield, and we would like our test to be case insensitive, hence the string tolower. The [HTTP::uri] should be case insensitive, and I removed your wildcard, because string matches don't work that way. starts_with is sufficient. I added 'elseif' because you usually want the iRule to stop processing conditionals after a pool selection is made, but in cases where there are multiple possible matches (a host and a uri) plan your logic accordingly. The last 'pool' statement wins. After you get your iRule situated, remove the debugging statements unless you want them

Thank you Brent, it has provided 99% of my requirement however when it turns out I need to change "/lz/" so I can wildcard anything before for example "*lz/" but that seems to fail any ideas?
