Need iRule for Redirect http to different pool of https web servers with certificate terminated in web servers

Hi Artorukt,

if you need to perform content switching decisionbased on the provided HTTP request headers, then you have to utilize Layer7 inspection (aka. attaching a HTTP-Profile to your virtual server). For HTTPS-sites this would have the fundamental requirement to also terminiate the SSL conection, before you're able to inspect the contained HTTP request information.

Once you have terminated the SSL-session on your F5, you could integrate your iRule to parse the requested

[HTTP::host]

and

[HTTP::path]

information and then select a destination pool based on the requested information. When forwarding the request to your webservers, you may want to reencrypt the traffic again to provide end-to-end alike security (aka. HTTPS-to-HTTPS bridging scenario).

Cheers, Kai
