Hello,

 

 

You can actually use an HTTP class to filter which requests are sent to ASM and which are sent directly to a pool.

 

 

This is described in the 9.2.3 ASM release notes: (Click here)

 

 

The general idea is that you should be able to perform most decisions for which requests to send to ASM and which are sent to the pool using the HTTP class filters.

 

 

There have been and will be some pretty cool changes to the functionality for using iRules with ASM though. I'm planning on writing a solution to give more detail on this once things settle down.

 

 

If you have any questions on using rules with ASM post again here. If you run into any significant issues, try contacting the ASM support team using tssupport@f5.com. Please include a complete problem description, a serial number for the unit and a tech.out so we can review your configuration.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
