Hi Mary,

You can start by splitting the URI on the "/" character and extracting the directory names, then create conditions for traffic management based on the request:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set dir1 [getfield [HTTP::path] "/" 2]
  set dir2 [getfield [HTTP::path] "/" 3]
  set dir3 [getfield [HTTP::path] "/" 4]
  if { $dir1 eq"a" and $dir2 eq "b" and $dir3 eq "c"}{
    pool ABC
  } elseif { $dir1 eq"c" and $dir2 eq "b" and $dir3 eq "a"}{
    pool CBA
  } else {
    reject
  }
}
