Redirecting the URI

Hi Shridhar,

LTM's virtual server and pool configuration will handle the server selection and port translation with the default settings. If you want to select server1 you could add it to its own pool timesheet_http_pool. For all other requests, you could create a second HTTP pool. The advantage to using two separate pools versus hardcoding the IP addresses in the iRule is that you can add new members to the pool or change the server by modifying the pool--not changing the iRule.

You could then use an iRule like this to select the pool and rewrite the requested URI:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: "New [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check if requested path starts with /timesheets 
    if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/timesheets"}{ 
  
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Matched /timesheets check" 
       pool timesheets_http_pool 
  
        Rewrite path if path is exactly /timesheets 
       if {[HTTP::path eq "/timesheets"}{ 
  
           Rewrite path 
          HTTP::path "/GroupServer/en" 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Rewriting path to /GroupServer/en" 
       } 
    } else { 
  
        Use default HTTP pool 
       pool default_http_pool 
  
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Using default_http_pool" 
  
        Rewrite path if path is exactly /timesheets 
       if {[HTTP::path eq "/"}{ 
  
           Rewrite path 
          HTTP::path "/primaveraweb" 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Rewriting path to /primaveraweb" 
       } 
    } 
 }
