NimbostratusRulle to connect to a specific server in a pool based on URL
I am trying to find a way to connect to a specific server in a pool any time I would like.
I the server is using HTTPS so I would need to use an HTTP URL to redirect me to the HTTPS URL and specific server pool.
I thought I could just create specific pools for each server and do an HTTP redirect to the HTTPS url and pool.
There are 3 servers in one HTTPS pool. And 3 new pools that have one server in each.
I would like all of our users to continue to hit the https://www.blah.com/blah.html but as administrator I would like to be able to hit a specific server by typing in a unique URL.
For example... http://www.blah.com/serverA and then have it send me to https://www.blah.com/blah.html on serverA in the serverA pool that was created specifically for it.
cmcneese_16877I've been searching for this as well, for essentially the same reasons, but have not found anything yet that quite matches up. If anyone has suggestions on this I'd be very interested.- cmcneese_16877Nevermind, found info here: http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&postid=1170882&view=topic
Mike_Rausch_628Thanks for the reply but the post that was listed explains how to redirect to other pools based using HTTP.
I would like to use HTTP and redirect to a specific pool using an HTTPS URL.
As an administrator I would like to go to http://production.com/server1 and be redirected to https://production/entry.html but only to the server1 pool. I created a pool for each server and called them server1, server2, and server3.
All other users would go to https://production/entry.html and sent to the production pool containing Server1 Server2 and Server3.
I am using the HTTP as my entry point because we do not decrypt at the BIGIP so the URL is still encrypted when it passes through the BIGIP to the server.
