is there a way to define a pool and have the members of the pool keep the uri information in V4.5.9?
Virtual URL = http://a.my.com/dev
pool members = http://b.my.com:9999/dev
http://c.my.com:9998/dev

I'm not exactly sure what are you looking for but maybe the very basic
layer 4 loadbalancing can do trick for your. If you configure your BIG-IP like this:pool dev_servers { member b.my.com:9999 member c.my.com:9998 } virtual a.my.com:80 { use pool dev_servers }
any URI starting with http://a.my.com/ will be loadbalanced to one of the two servers. BIG-IP performs destination address and port translation as a side-effect of loadbalancing (unless you turn it off in configuration), so for example URI http://a.my.com/dev will be effectively translated to http://b.my.com:9999/dev.
If you want to loadbalance only some URIs you can use iRules to do the filtering. For example if only URIs starting with http://a.my.com/dev/ should be loadbalanced to servers b.my.com and c.my.com and all other URIs should be served by server www.my.com, you can use following configuration:pool dev_servers { member b.my.com:9999 member c.my.com:9998 } pool default { member www.my.com:80 } rule dev_filter { if(http_uri starts_with "/dev/") { use pool dev_servers } else { use pool default } } virtual a.my.com:80 { use rule dev_filter }
So, to (finally) answer your question: there is no way how to associate pool members with URIs at the pool level, but you can achieve the same using iRules.
