CirrusSelect Pool Based on URI with Host Rewrite
Hi All, In short we are going from SharePoint 2007 to 2010. To ease the pain of migrating sites I suggested we use the F5 LTMs to redirect based on the URI. I attempted this with a http class until I ...

CirrusAll of the request will come in as www.abc.com but with different URI; however when the request is passed to the web server it will need to be different based on which sharepoint instance it goes to. Apparently sharepoint looks at the host header. The sharepoint team is going to provide us with a list of URI that will need to go to the old sharepoint. Everything else can just go straight to the new sharepoint pool. In reading other posts I'm wondering if I should try to create a datagroup/class. Anything that matches the class would get sent to the old pool and the host would be changed and everything else would be sent to the new pool and the host header left in tact.
Example -
New Web Server Pool
Comes in www.abc.com
/uri1 - New Site
/uri2 - New Site
When the request is sent to the new web server pool the host would stay in tact - so www.abc.com/uri1 or www.abc.com/uri2
Old Web Server Pool
Comes in www.abc.com
/uri3 - Old Site
/uri4 - Old Site
When the request is sent to the old web server pool the host would need to change - so www.xyz.com/uri3 or www.xyz.com/uri4
