Route to different pools based on /content

Hi Greg,

You can use HTTP classes or an iRule to do this. With HTTP classes, (in the GUI under Profiles : Protocol : HTTP Class) you'd create one class per pool and configure the URI's with string matching in the URI Paths section. Here is a view of the config from the bigip.conf:

profile httpclass qa_class {
   defaults from httpclass
   pool qa_pool
   redirect none
   paths {
      "/QA*"
      "/qa*"
   }
}
profile httpclass uat_class {
   defaults from httpclass
   pool uat_pool
   redirect none
   paths {
      "/UAT*"
      "/uat*"
   }
}

Note that I'm assuming the app isn't case sensitive and you'd want /UAT and /uat to both go to the same pool. You could add a final HTTP class with no filters and specify a pool for all URIs which don't match a prior HTTP class.

Here is an example of an iRule to select between pools based on the URI:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check URI set to lower case with wildcard matching
   switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
      "uat*" {
         uat_pool
      }
      "qa*" {
         qa_pool
      }
      default_pool {
         qeneral_pool
      }
   }
}
