multiple rules in a single virtual server

Hi Jeff --

 

 

You should be able to apply multiple rules to a virtual server even if both include the same events. The event processing is in the order in which the rules are applied to the virtual.

 

 

Not sure why your VS seems to stop working with both applied, but here are some suggestions to help you figure it out:

 

 

1) You might want to use the "return" statement to explicitly end the processing within that event once the appropriate decisions have been made. That will prevent the same event in the next rule from executing.

 

 

2) I also try to avoid selecting pools/making LB decisions in both rules, instead opting for a front end rule to handle redirection on weak encryption, HTTP to HTTPS redirects, header sanitization & other security considerations, with a second load balancing rule applied after to actually do the traffic management (URI switching/re-writing/etc).

 

 

3) Add logging statements in each event & conditional section of code to highlight which lines are executing, and give you some more clues about how your rule is processing traffic.
