redirect url to another pool

Would something like this work?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch -glob {string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {

 

"test.xzy.com" { pool test_pool }

 

"hello.xzy.com" { pool hello_pool }

 

"data.xzy.com" {pool data_pool }

 

default { pool default_pool}

 

}

 

}

Hi Allan,

That looks good. Just change HTTP::uri to HTTP::host and replace the leading { with a [:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
      "test.xzy.com" { pool test_pool }
      "hello.xzy.com" { pool hello_pool }
      "data.xzy.com" {pool data_pool }
      default { pool default_pool}
   }
}

How would I write this Irule if I wanted to send each url to a different VIP? So if the url contains test.xzy.com send it to the test.xzy.com vip and so on?

 

 

Thanks,

there is a virtual command.

 

 

virtual wiki

so would it need to look something like this?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {

 

"test.xzy.com" { Virutal test_VIP }

 

"hello.xzy.com" { Virutal hello_VIP }

 

"data.xzy.com" {Virutal data_VIP }

 

default { Virutal default_VIP}

 

}

 

}

e.g.

      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b rule myrule list

   when HTTP_REQUEST {
        switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
                "test.xyz.com" { virtual test_vip }
                "hello.xyz.com" { virtual hello_vip }
                "data.xyz.com" { virtual data_vip }
                default { virtual default_vip }
        }
}

Do I need to add "contains" into the irule so similar URL's with test.xyz.com/test/hello will get sent to the correct vip?

Do I need to add "contains" into the irule so similar URL's with test.xyz.com/test/hello will get sent to the correct vip?we use HTTP::host, so test.xyz.com/test/hello will still match the "test.xyz.com" in switch.

 

 

URL is test.xyz.com/test/hello

 

HTTP::host is test.xyz.com

 

HTTP::uri is /test/hello

additionally, you are able to use glob-style matching in switch i.e. -glob.
