Redirect to different Pool based on Host

Hello all...

I'm in the process of migrating several site from one server group to another, and since I'm only doing a few at a time I want to be able to redirect request for those sites that have been moved to the new pool and the not default pool. I have a similar rediret rule that I've used based on path, however I'm thinking I can simply change the "path" to "host", would that be correct?


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob "[string tolower [HTTP::path]]" {
"/bob*" -
"/shopping*"  {
pool secure2.test.domain.com
 }
default {
pool secure.test.domain.com
 
    }
  }
}

Thanks,

Bob

    yes, it should work just fine.

    e.g. 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "new.domain.com" {
         pool new_pool 
      }
      default {
         pool default_pool
      }
   }
}
