Nov 11, 2009load balance MSRDP traffic
I just need a basic iRule to dirct incoming requests from 3 vip's to 2 pools. I've done this before with HTTP traffic but not rdp, I'm hoping to re-use an existing iRule, modified of course for MSRDP...

Nov 13, 2009sure. One of the few things available in the clear is the username or routing token for session mapping. If session directory is enabled, this presents as msts=.... where the value can be extracted into an IP:port. Without session directory, the user credentials are available as mstshash=...... If the clients are on controlled builds, you can force them (or request them) to use old, reallyold, or new as the username so you can balance accordingly. Here's an old thread that approaches this from the persistence angle, but could be modified to switch pools as necessary:
