Mar 06, 2009Referencing Sourc-IP of Pool-Members
Hi,
I have to check if the source-ip of a http-request
matches any member node of a given pool; is there a way to do this without comparing the source-ip to a list of strings containing the Node-ips ?
thanks for your input....

Hi,
What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to check if the source IP address is the same as the selected pool member's IP address? Or do you want to check if any member of the pool is the source IP address? Or something entirely different?
For the former, you could use:when LB_SELECTED { This event is triggered when a load balancing decision has been made Check if the client IP address is the selected pool member IP address if {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals [LB::server addr]}{ client IP is the same as the server IP } }
To check if the client IP address is part of the pool, you could use a rule like this. I'm guessing that the pool member port would be the same as the virtual server port. If that's not the case, you could hardcode the port assuming it's the same for all pool members.when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { Check if client IP:VIP port exists in the pool and is marked up if {[LB::status pool [LB::server pool] member [IP::client_addr] [TCP::local_port]] eq "UP"}{ The client IP is in this pool and marked up } }
If neither of these examples is close to what you're trying to do, can you elaborate?
Thanks,

Hi
thanks,I think this will help;
I need to determine if the client IP address, which sends a request to the vip is part of the pool, so that in this case the request can be redirected back to the requesting node (and not be load-balanced).
