One Virtual server - using rewrite to direct to multiple pools

I have the following iRule:

 

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] contains "/qa" } {

 

log local0. "HTTP::path = [HTTP::path]"

 

log local0. "URI = [HTTP::uri]"

 

log local0. "Query = [HTTP::query]"

 

set new_path [string map { "/qa" "" } [HTTP::path]]

 

log local0. "Modified URI: $new_path"

 

HTTP::path $new_path

 

pool qa_pool

 

}

 

 

What I am trying to do here is to create a virtual server with multiple pools for test,qa etc. The irule will use an "indicator" within the URI to direct the traffic to a specific pool after the "indicator" is removed.

 

 

For example, If the real URL is http://servername/BOE/CMC, then, I want the user to provide the URL as http://servername/qa/BOE/CMC.

 

 

This works fine for the first time and gives me the Business Objects log on page as expected, but, after the credentials are provided and I hit "SUBMIT", nothing happens!

 

 

What am I missing? Any help will be very much appreciated!

 

 

Thanks!
