NimbostratusRedirection to pools failing
I have strange (for me) issue with a simple (looked to me) process. Trying to direct calls to Virtual Server to different pools depending on the host name/uri content. Physical server is running IIS7...

NimbostratusOk, go figure. Thanks that we at least have forum where we can find out something about how F5 works. So the setup I have would/should work for pure http but for https the traffic needs first be unencripted by F5 (=offloading). Do I understand this correctly?
Is there a way though to redirect https traffic without offloading?
F5 docs vaguely say you have to use http profile for iRULEs like that to work. But there are no specific https profiles. So does it mean if I want to apply irule to https traffic I must use http profile and (as a consequence) offloading?
- You are correct if you enable SSL offloading then it should work. You are alos right about no HTTPS profile this is because it is still HTTP just secured with SSL. Yep if you want HTTP event you will have to have a HTTP profile which means SSL offload.
