Routing diferent URLs to diferent Servers

Dear all,

 

 

If you could reply with an answer or point me to the right direction or documentation for the question below, I would be really thankful.

 

 

The string replacement talk about swapping characters on incoming strings but what theoretically we would like to do (and I need to know now because if we have performance issues then we need to make the change) is;

 

 

 

 

The following URLS requests would always be routed to go to BOX 1 (or in future cluster of servers 1)

 

 

 

 

Http://consult.company1.com (reroute from company1 domaim)

 

 

http://consult.company1.com

 

 

http://consult-london.company.com

 

 

 

 

i.e. anything with consult in URL (without hopefully adding all 200 names into a maintained list

 

 

 

 

All other urls go to Box2 (or in future cluster of servers 2)

 

 

Thank you very much

 

 

Renato

    I think an HTTP class would be the easiest. You need to be at version 9.4 to use this. You just put in "consult*" or "http://consult*" into the HTTP class and point it to pool 1, then your virtual server would send all other matches to the pool associated with the virtual server.

    Otherwise, a very basic iRule should do it.

    If you want to pursue the rule, the following should would for you:

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] contains "consult"} {
    pool BOX1
  } else { pool BOX2 }
}

    I made the assumption that you meant consult would be anywhere in the HOST. If that's not the case, you can also check the URI path ([HTTP::path]) and query ([HTTP::query]) information
