Sorry to jump in the middle. Can I have a quick question:
We have a similar situation. The application was written poorly that the Web servers need to be able to interact directly with the workstations. I want to take the LTM out of the picture but still want to leveraging the Load Balance and health check functionality. I am thinking of configure VIP and pool. When request come in to the VIP, we will use the same IRule here to re-write the URL to direct the workstation to one of the member server. From then on, the workstation establishes connection with the server for the application. Can I use this IRule for my purpose?
Thank you in advanced.
