Problem ProxySSL with two pools.

It seems that your code is correct.

I tried this code and it works for me

when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if {[HTTP::path] contains "jta"} {
   log local0. "my_pool_a is selected for path [HTTP::path]"
   pool my_pool_a
 } else {
   log local0. "my_pool_b is selected for path [HTTP::path]"
   pool my_pool_b
 }
}

Have you applied the irule to your VS ?

Remark: you can remove the "default pool" configuration from the "ressources" and just apply your irule and try again.

You can also check your log in /var/log/ltm
