Yes, you can do it with an iRule. However, I'm going to recommend that you setup multiple vips. It's more efficient that way. The iRule would look something like this:


when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if {[TCP::local_port] == 4080} {
    pool Pool1
  } elseif {[TCP::local_port] == 5080} {
    pool Pool2
  } elseif {[TCP::local_port] == 9080} {
    pool Pool3
  }
}
