Please review this iRule
Can somebody tell me why this iRule might not work properly? We are seeing urls that should match an else statement go to a different pool (not necessarily the fallback pool). Sometimes things work, sometimes it does not. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
Here is the rule:
rule pleaseGetThisWorking {
when SERVER_CONNECTED {
log local0. "Node IP address: [IP::server_addr]"
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/securemail" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://someotherdomain.com/messenger/"
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/test/" } {
use pool pilotweb
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/Reporting" } {
use pool Reporting_Production
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/raersWeb" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/teleform/" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "UnblindUtility.jsp"} {
HTTP::redirect "https://www.MAINVIRTUALSERVER.com/unblind/transition/transition.htm"
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/unblind/transition/" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/unblind" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/cews/" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/wiki/" } {
use pool calgborgweb
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/jira/" } {
use pool finback_jira
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/sso/" } {
use pool sso
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/devsso/" } {
use pool devsso
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/testsso/" } {
use pool testsso
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/betasso/" } {
use pool betasso
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/rss/" } {
use pool baiji_rss
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/rtp/" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/statcenter/" } {
use pool calgb.org_web_servers
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/qt" } {
use pool reporting
}
elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/reporting"} {
HTTP::redirect "https://www.MAINVIRTUALSERVER.org/Reporting"
}
else {
set uri [HTTP::uri]
set UA [HTTP::header "User-Agent"]
log local0. "lb fallthrough: $uri browser $UA"
use pool oracleweb
}
}
}

There is allot of IF-ELSEIF statements. It maybe more efficient to use the switch statement
For examplewhen HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { "*/securemail*" { HTTP::redirect "https://someotherdomain.com/messenger/" } "*/test/*" { pool pilotweb } "/raersWeb*" { pool Reporting_Production } "*"/teleform/*" { pool reporting } . . . DEFAULT { set uri [HTTP::uri] set UA [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] log local0. "lb fallthrough: $uri browser $UA" pool oracleweb } } }
Click here and/or Click here for more indepth view of using the "switch" command
Also if you have a default pool already assigned to the virtual address it will mean if non of these matches it basically picks the pool.
Hope this helps
CB - using the switch command is a good idea. When I get this rule to work properly I will try it.
