Great news! The MySQL proxy iRule and iApp are now available!

 

 

iRule: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.MySQL-Proxy.ashx

 

 

iApp: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iApp.MySQL-Proxy-iApp.ashx

 

 

iRule to implement Layer 7 full proxy for MySQL servers. This proxy alleviates the need for a developer to modify his/her application to use multiple database handles when scaling from a standalone MySQL server to a Master/Slave cluster. Read-only queries are sent to the slave pool while all others are sent to the master pool.

 

 

Many thanks to rcorder for the post!

    Where is the actual iRule on the page? I'm reviewing content in the iApp, which provides some insight. But I thought there would be sample code on the iRule version page.

     

    Update: Judging from the iApp code, I see that it might be too large to try to include it on the iRule page. I just felt the page was confusing in that there was no sample code.
