Hi! By on the go I assume that they can have any public IP, or do they have a static IP via your internal Wifi?
If it's via your wifi it's fairly simple. I assume you have a virtual server already with an application running? Is it possible to create a new one?
Assuming that you have a static IP via the internal Wifi you can do this.
Create this iRule (configure according to comments):
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Replace 190.10.0.1 with your office IP and tablet.domain.com
with the domain you want to use for the tablet users.
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 190.10.0.1] and [HTTP::host] eq "tablet.domain.com" } {
This will be the pool for the tablet application
pool tabletpool
} else {
This would be the pool you used for everything else
pool theusualpool
}
}
If you can create a new virtual server you can just use a modified version of the iRule above:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Replace 190.10.0.1 with your office IP and tablet.domain.com
with the domain you want to use for the tablet users.
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 190.10.0.1] } {
This will be the pool for the tablet application
pool tabletpool
} else {
Drop all other requests
drop
}
}
Hope I understood you correctly, good luck!
