persistence on HTTP non-standard header

Thanks!

 

I tried that but it doesn't work for me. But now I think I know why, but I want to confirm this: I have two virtual servers, one with an external address and one with an internal address. Though both the virtual servers have the same iRule (with the persistence logic) assigned to them, I guess the persistence will be restricted to a virtual server? Meaning, there would be individual persistence tables for each virtual server, right?

 

If that's the case, is there a way to do this? My requirement basically is as follows: Client comes in with header1 thru' external-virtual-server and goes to server1. Client then contacts server2 thru' external-virtual-server. Now server2 uses header1 and needs to contact server1 thru' internal-virtual-server (this is where the persistence is used to contact the same server1)

 

 

Thanks
