NimbostratusPersistence and irules
I have written a working irule to send incoming http traffic based on the url to three different pools.
Everyone coming in using http://www.mycompany.com - they get directed to Pool A
Everyone coming in using http://www.mycompany.com/abc - they get directed to Pool B
Everyone coming in using http://www.mycompany.com/xyz - they get directed to Pool C
Sometimes when a person is in pool a, they might click a link: http://www.mycompany.com/abc/newpage. The irule sends them to pool b as it should
My question is, what will happen when I create a persistance profile? Will the LTM use the irule to check every http get request and send them to the correct pool(a to b)(b to a) even if the session has been persistenced to the first pool they get?
- From what I understand, if you have a OneConnect profile enabled on the virtual server, then, yes, all requests will be evaluated by the rule and then once the pool is selected, persistence info will be used to choose a specific pool member for each request.

/deb - Even without a OneConnect profile enabled, persistence will take presedence over load balancing if you're using the standard load balancing mechanisms on the BIG-IP.
Since you're using an iRule, though, the explicit pool assignments you're using in the rule should override the previous persistence entry.
