more than one pool in an iRule

 

How can I have requests to be evenly distributed across 2 (or more) pools under the same "if" condition in an iRule? For example, If I configure an iRule like:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

if { [HTTP::uri] contains "XXXX" } {

 

pool pool_1

 

pool pool_2

 

}

 

}

 

 

all the requests are going to pool_2 only. I have 2 pools because they run two different services (i.e., pool_1 serves a port different from the one served by pool_2)

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    All requests are going to pool 2 because the pool command does not cause the iRule to stop executing code. The second pool command is executed immediately after and the pool is changed from pool 1 to pool 2.

     

     

    You actually don't need two pools. A pool can consist of members that are listening on a variety of different ports.
