Hi Stephan,

 

Thanks for chiming in. To clarify what I am trying to accomplish please see the below explanation:

 

We have an internal DNS entry that points to the VIP. Behind this VIP we host two servers in the pool. What I'm trying to accomplish is to balance the traffic that goes to the VIP between two specific URI's.

 

So, when a person enters into their browser http://myfriendlyurl.tbccorp.com they will be sent to either of the two following URI's depending on the current load balance state (setup for least connection):

 

1) http://unfriendly1.tbccorp.com:8080/iam/im/TBCQAIME/ui7/index.jsp

 

2) http://unfriendly2.tbccorp.com:8080/iam/im/TBCQAIME/ui7/index.jsp

 

I currently have a rule in place to change the URL to just one of the servers in the pool and that works just fine, but I would like to load balance between the two servers.

 

Thanks again for your help.
