Hi Chris,

You could use a single VIP which www.mysite.com resolves to. You could then use an iRule to send requests for /site1/ - /site12/ to one pool and all other URIs to the second pool. If that sounds about right, you could use an iRule like this: 

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    
      Check the requested path  
     switch -glob [HTTP::path] {  
        "/site[1-9]/* -  
        "/site1[1-2]/* {  
    
            Request matched /site1/* - /site12/* so use first pool  
           pool first_pool  
    
           log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Using first_pool for request to [HTTP::uri]"  
        }  
        default {  
            Request didn't match so use second pool  
           pool second_pool  
    
           log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Using second_pool for request to [HTTP::uri]"  
        }  
     }  
  }

If you see omega Ώ symbols in the switch statement, replace the lines wtih these (minus the spaces):

"/site [ 1 - 9 ]/* -

"/site1 [ 1 - 2]/* {
