iRULE execution order with data groups

Hi,

First of you have this condition:

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP:host]]{ 
    testserver1.abc.com{pool testserver1} 
    testserver2.abc.com {pool testserver2} 
} 

Depending the hostname that you enter, you will FW to a specific pool

• if hostname is testserver1.abc.com, you will forward to pool testserver1
• if hostname is testserver2.abc.com, you will forward to pool testserver3

Then you have an additional condition:

if { [class match [IP:client_addr] equals external_users]} { 
    pool testserver3 
} 

If you source IP is contain in the DG external_users as it happens "192.168.168.0/24" you will forward to pool testserver3.

In your case you enter the followin url http://testserver2.abc.com with source IP 192.168.168.168.

• So you will match first condition an your pool is set to testserver2
• but you match second condition due to your source IP and your pool it is finally configured to testserver3

Regards
