select member based on cookie in request

Hi Guys,     Is it possible to select a specific pool member based on a cookie in the request?     so if my cookie had a value of "cookie1" then it should select pool member 1 etc.   ...

As for selection based on the query string that looks like a good option and far easier to manage. The only issue i can see is what happens with pool members that are disabled? are they candidates for LB selection?

 

 

In the current version of the iRule only members not marked down are considered in the matching. If you are on 10.x, you can chance active_members to members and then all pool members, regardless of state, are considered.

HTTP::cookie value in HTTP_REQUEST will return information on request cookie values. It will return cookie values in the response in HTTP_RESPONSE.
