NimbostratusLoad balance to specific pool by reading the X-Forwarded-For IP address
I've been asked if we can send specific client to a different pool based on the X-Forwarded-For IP address. I suspect this must be done via an IRule. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Noctilucentyou can retrieve x-forwarded-for header value by using HTTP::header command and then you can do whatever you want e.g. send to specific node (node command) or pool (pool command), etc.

Nimbostratusthis should be doable as a data-group - do you foresee the list of IP addresses changing often over time?
