Stateless session persistence

Okay, I can see why this is a "feature", not a bug.

 

 

The reason I'm selecting a node manually is because I have a pool with nodes on port 0 (any). I then want to select a port on the backend server depending on which port the request came in on: 80 -> 8080, 443 -> 8443 (with SSL profiles set up in the same iRule). So I actually just need to select the port, not the node, but I couldn't see a way of doing this without having to specify the node. This approach avoids having two pools with the same nodes but on different ports (this is something I really don't want to have --- if we add a new server, I don't want to have to add it in two places).

 

 

I guess I'm trying to do something similar to what is being done in the penultimate part of

except that I'm not sure what to do with persistence.

 

 

 

Thanks for your help!
