AltostratusiRule for redirecting the traffic of GoogleBot to a different pool using X-Header Value
We need to redirect Google Bots traffic to another Pool, What is the effective and simple iRule I can use to accomplish that ?
We can filter the traffic using X-Header Value, which is set to value "8" are good to redirect to a new pool.
Does Below iRule Work ?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::header X-forwarded-for]] equals 8] } {
pool A
}
pool default
}
OR
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] contains googlebot] } {
pool A
}
pool default
}

Hi MohanK,
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::header X-Forwarded-For] equals "8" && [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] contains "googlebot" } { pool A } else { pool default } }
MohanKThank you for restructuring my iRule Eaa, I'll apply the above rule and let you know, if that works.
JP_GHello All,
I am looking to refine the rule proposed above just a bit and came up with the following:
---
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::header exists X-APP-WHITELIST] and [HTTP::header X-APP-WHITELIST] equals "8" or [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] contains "googlebot" } {
pool A
else {
pool default
}
}
---
We are looking for the detail: "X-APP-WHITELIST" in the header equal to "8" OR if the user-agent has, "googlebot" discovered in the header. Not looking at the XFF part of the header. The, '&&' appears to be a logical AND in which both conditions have to be true. We are looking for one or the other; does not have to be both.
Does this look to be simpler?
Thank you all for your replies.
