NimbostratusPassing a header value to lb to pool
I am trying to load balance traffic according to a server response header value. I think I may be going way too deep into the woods here. Can you help a young Padawan with a direction please?

NimbostratusAt first glance, you are only directing to a pool in the HTTP_Request section. You are not actually setting persistence or directing to a specific node. Take a peek at this example which demonstrates how to set the pool member. Also, what unique value will you look at in the cookie? I'd also recommend encrypting the cookie just to obscure any internal detail that does not need to be plain text!
