Is this possible

Thank you this is very helpful.

 

 

We want to provide customers with a URL that can get them to the right servers or pool of servers for a particular service. In some cases the URL should be sufficient to identify the pool of servers , in other cases we need to know the customer id (as a URL parameter) to direct them to the correct server. The assumption is that the customer id is either provided by the customers portal or we'll prompt them for it if its absent. Operationally we also want to integrate this logic with our operational database and the F5 so that we avoid human errors and reduce the steps to update information about which servers support what services and customers.

 

 

Based on the description above, it seems like I'll need to create an iRule that obtains the re-direction rules from a datagroup in the F5. I'll then need to write an iControl to update this datagroup from our operations database that manages which servers are allocated to what services.
