Multiple URL to One Node

Hi ShashankS,

you could either

switch

the requests for the given

HTTP::host

values between two distinct

pool

objects (e.g. your regular pool an another pool with just

1.1.1.1:8080

as a member) or you could simply overwrite the load balancing decission by using the

node

command.

iRule switching between two pools:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -exact -- [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
        "abc.com" - "xyz.com" {
            pool single_node_pool
        }
        default {
            pool regular_pool
        }
    }
}

Note: The example above can be combined with the Priority Group Activation feature for the "single_node_pool". By doing so you can define one or many standyby node(s) with a lower "Priority Group" value, so that those nodes will be used if the primary node will become offline.

iRule to target a specific node:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -exact -- [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
        "abc.com" - "xyz.com" {
            node 1.1.1.1 8080
        }
        default {
            pool multiple_nodes
        }
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
