Pool Redirect

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Thanks for that. I don't think I will need to use the getfield as we plan to send them to a default pool page that says something like "This site does not exist" I made some changes to the irule (See below). I wanted to run it by you before turning it up live on our Big IP. Does everything look correct to you?

 

 

Parse the URI to determine which pool to send requests to.

 

The pool string should match all the characters in the URI after the leading slash.

 

 

Example: The pool for URI '/ABC/' is pool_ABC

 

 

Change "default_pool" to the pool which should be used if the parsed pool name doesn't exist.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

Check if requested path is at least two characters long

 

if {[string length [HTTP::path]] > 1}{

 

 

Get the whole path minus the leading slash

 

set pool_string [string toupper [string range [HTTP::path] 1 end]

 

 

Try to set the pool based on the URI. If the pool name doesn't exist, catch the error.

 

if { [catch {pool pool_${pool_string}}]}{

 

 

The pool parsed from the URI didn't exist

 

log local0. "Error assigning pool to pool_${pool_string}"

 

 

Assign a default pool for this request

 

pool default_pool

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

Again thanks for all your help!
