Irule for rerouting to different pools

Looks like a reasonable start...

 

 

I'd suggest this minor change...

 

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test" }

 

 

That's a little more specific and would avoid the situation where a URL with "test" in the middle is sent to the wrong pool (e.g. /application/testpage.htm should go to poollive)

 

 

 

Once you start using logic like this, it's common to have more URI patterns that need to be sent to another pool. When that happens, I'd recommend going to a format like the following. As the list grows, this tends to be easier to read. (*note this example code is untested)

 

    switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
        "/test*" -
        "/another_url_that_shouldnt_be_live/index.htm"  { pool pooltest }
        "/someOtherPool*" {pool poolother)
        default {
            pool poollive  
        }
    }
