Nimbostratusredirect to node name based on URI
Is there a way to redirect to a node name based on a URI (without creating a list of IP addresses and names for lookup within the iRule)
Something like:
www.google.com/?serverA
redirects to a node named serverA
I can do this by creating a look-up list, but this then hardcodes the IP's in the iRule, making it another maintenance consideration.
Thanks in advance.

Hi John,
I don't think there is a way to resolve a node name to an IP address from an iRule.
You could potentially create aliases without hardcoding a name to an IP:port combination. Something like:
serverA - "lowest" IP address in the pool
serverB - second "lowest" IP address in the pool
...
You can get a list of the active members of a pool using [active members -list] (Click here). You need to be running 9.4.2 or higher to use this command.

This is possible with the NAME::lookup/NAME::response commands. Check out this thread: http://devcentral.f5.com/default.aspx?tabid=53&view=topic&forumid=5&postid=1332 Click here
