I have but one last question that was passed on by one of my co-workers. Will this preserve the URI? I ask because behind each URL is two applications. The trailing URI /blah1 and /blah2 point to two different applications. The way our devs. have Appache configured as best I understand, is to parse the HTTP request for the URI (/blah1 or /blah2) to determine which application pool to send the request to.

 

 

So the end goal is to have one VIP point to two pools. Have the iRule parse the host header (preserving the URI if possible) and send it to the appropriate pool.
