Multiple Actions Based On An HTTP Event
Greetings,
Is it possible to use an iRule to take multiple actions based on a single HTTP event?
My specific need is to create an iRule that will trigger on an HTTP_REQUEST event, and if that traffic matches a specific set of criteria, to then forward the traffic to a pool, AND redirect the client to a static content page.
Can that be done?
Thank you,

Hi,
It is possible to take multiple actions on a single event, but those two particular actions are mutually exclusive.

You could potentially do this serially, using HTTP::retry (Click here). But what are you actually trying to accomplish by making the request to the pool member and redirecting the client to another location?
Aaron- It is for potentially malicious traffic. We want to send the traffic to a pool for capture and forensics, but also return a static page to the client. The static page can be delivered to the client via the webserver, but we were curious if the iRule could do both.
