iRule to forward traffic depending on specific IP to original pool when holding pool enabled.

Hi,

your message is not formatted... and explanation are not clear...

the better way is to give examples...

I understand that you have 7 VS with:

• 1 pool with 2 members (hosted on same 2 nodes for every VS, only port is different) named pool_test_X (X from 1 to 7)
• 1 holding pool (hosted on same 2 nodes for every VS, only port is different) named holdingpool_test_X (X from 1 to 7)
• users from IPs 222.222.222.225 and 222.222.222.226 (in data group external_ip) must be directed to pool_test_X
• All other users must be directed to holdingpool_test_X

you can use following irule:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
    set default_pool [LB::server pool]
    if { [class match [IP::remote_addr] equals external_ip] } { 
        pool $default_pool
    } else { 
        pool  holding_$default_pool
    }
}

With this irule, the holding pool name must be holding_
