Need help with iRule for redirect removal

What you really want is an iRule that choose the back end server appropriately according to something that your application can cause the user to send out.

 

In the example below, the application is sending out a cookie called trueServer that tells us the real server we want to connect to. In order to make this simpler, each server is in a pool of 1 (named after the name of the server).

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch [HTTP::cookie value "trueServer"] {

 

www1 { pool www1 }

 

www2 { pool www2 }

 

www3 { pool www3 }

 

www4 { pool www4 }

 

default { pool default_pool }

 

}

 

}
