Ok, first- thanks for the quick response.

 

 

Yes, I'm terminating the SSL on the Big IP, so I expect to be able to inspect all packets.

 

 

I see what you mean- this seems to be only the 1st half of the problem.

 

 

Once I've redirected these requests to the new pool, I'm a bit confused as to what is next. You seem to be saying that a redirect iRule is also necessary to re-direct back the response from my "static image pool" back to the original requester. And if this is the case, I must again ask for help in constructing a proper iRule to do this.

 

 

I'm not 100% on what is required- does the BigIP know how to send the result back properly?

 

 

thanks again,
