Redirect Help (but NOT over HTTP) !

My initial thoughts here are that the easiest way to accomplish this is to create a second pool on LTM A, which contains a single entry - the VIP IP on LTM B.

 

 

Then in your iRule you can simply select the other pool.

 

 

The downside of this is that you will be 'double processing' all the rerouted requests, as they will be passing through both LTM A, and LTM B (it also assumes that LTM A can access LTM B).

 

 

 

Otherwise being able to redirect traffic in the same way you can with HTTP would rely on the particular protocol you are passing having some kind of 'Please see this resource instead:' message type that you could reply to the original request with.

 

 

If that is the case then you could construct your own response to the message with the TCP::respond command - let me know if you are looking to achieve that (and what the message structure is for the protocol you are using, if you need an explicit example).
