Traversing the URL and matching it with a datagroup

Hi Puli,

 

 

Conceptually this could be done using various string functions (most likely URI::path or possibly split and/or scan) and the class command to check the datagroup. However, I'd be concerned about the possible resource utilization and latency added by doing recursive operations.

You might try building a simple test rule and do some performance testing of it under load while using timing to record the results:
