iRule to redirect traffic between 2 pools based on the URI
I currently have a VIP and pool created for a customer. They are planning to move some services to a new server farm.
They can't create a new URL for this new server farm.
They have requested that i create an irule to redirect traffic between the old server farm (pool1) and the new server farm (pool2) based off of the URI.
For example, if a user types www.abc.com/123, it needs to go to pool1 and if a user types www.abc.com/xyz, it needs to go to pool2. I have created the new pool, but i can't get the irule to work.
This is what i have so far.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] ends_with "123*" } {
pool pool1
} elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } {
pool pool2
}
}

Hi Joseph,
Something may be wrong on your first condition.
Why do you need ends_with and a wildcard at the end of the condition ?This should work as a replacement :
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/123" } { pool pool1 } elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } { pool pool2 } }

Can we do it in the same pool but different port number?
