Hi,

 

You can do via irule but what is the case if node1 down? Will node2 serve the request? Or you want alwys goes node1 and fail request if node2 not available?

 

Thx Srini

Hi Srini,

 

node 1 (server-001) is for request 1 (https://test.com/) and node-2 (server-002) is for request 2 (https://test.com/sale).

 

node 1 and node 2 are not redundant to each other meaning if node 2 is down then the request 2 won't work and vice versa. Is it ok to have them in the same pool then - im just thinking loudly...

 

rewrite profile won't work here?

 

Thanks
