load balance based on payload data

, 

I'd try something like below, have done payload manipulation in the past, so i assume it should work.

Keep us posted/.

ltm rule test_rule {
 
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set ltm_trace [string range [AES::key 256] 15 23]
set vip [findstr [virtual name] "" 8 ]
log local0. "LTM_TRACE=$ltm_trace VIP=$vip CLIENT=[IP::client_addr] has established a connection"
}
 
when CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE {
SSL::collect
}
 
when CLIENTSSL_DATA {
# Do not log fullpayload as it may contain sensitive information
#log local0. "LTM_TRACE=$ltm_trace VIP=$vip FULLPAYLOAD=[SSL::payload]"
if { [SSL::payload] contains "magic" } {
pool magic_pool
log local0. "LTM_TRACE=$ltm_trace VIP=$vip --> Pool=magic_pool"
} else {
pool default_pool
log local0. "LTM_TRACE=$ltm_trace VIP=$vip --> Pool=default_pool"
}
SSL::release
}
 
when CLIENT_CLOSED {
log local0. "LTM_TRACE=$ltm_trace VIP=$vip CLIENT=[IP::client_addr] connection is closed"
}
 
}
