single URL to multiple application instances

Greetings, I'm new here, tried searching around and couldn't locate anything close to this. I'm not an F5 admin. My contact has been out of the office, figured I'd ask in here. Trying to see if using the F5 iRules is a viable solution to this, we have iRules v4.5.x. This seems like a simple request to me:

 

 

I need a single inbound URL redirected to muliple application instances in perhaps a round-robin like fashion. For example:

 

 

http:///

 

 

Can be load balanced to any of the following (two instances on two servers):

 

 

http:///

 

http:///

 

 

 

http:///

 

http:///

 

 

 

It's possible more servers or more application instances per server could be added at a later date if needed. Possible solutions needs to be adaptable.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any sugestions on possible iRules.

    Rich,

     

     

    if application instances that you need to loadbalance to are really at different URIs than the incoming requests then there is unfortunately no way how to achieve what you need with 4.x iRules. BIG-IP v4.x does not allow to rewrite URIs in loadbalanced requests.
