node persistence and uri parameter

Our application has been having issues with ipads on the way it was written and we are trying to work around this with big-ip. The issue we are having is that we want to get a value from the a URI parameter and then we want to use that uri parameter as the cookie and then create a persistent connection to the node that request was made to.

 

so it would look something like this:

 

client -> -> F5:80 -> CID=1234567 -> cookie CID=1234567 -> node:80

 

Is this possible? Guess the next step is really looking at HTTP::query and looking at splitting that k/v pair and creating the variable to hold that CID and creating a cookie out of it.

    You can use BIG-IP LTM's cookie persistence profile to ensure persistent client->pool member correlation without the dependence on any part of a URL parameter.
