thanks for the response Kevin,

 

The URLs to the application look something like…

 

xyz.com/AAAAAAA/ xyz.com/BBBBBBBB/ xyz.com/CCCCCCCC/

 

Where the AAAAAAA, BBBBBBBB, CCCCCCCC represent different distinct customers using the application

 

More what I had in mind was redirecting a small number of specific customers to the new server, SERVER_B using a rule something like… IF URI contains “/AAAAAAA/” then redirect SERVER_B ELSE IF URI contains “/BBBBBBBB/” then redirect SERVER_B ELSE redirect SERVER_A

 

I would be concerned that if we have a specific customer’s users (e.g. customer AAAAAA with 20 users) being redirected to different servers, we would not have sufficient measure on performance improvements if one user is still on SERVER_A and another is hitting SERVER_B.
