uri and pool redirection

Hi David,

So you basically want www.xyz.com/site2 requests to be redirected to www2.xyz.com/site2, www2.xyz.com/site2 requests to go to pool2 and all other requests to go to pool1? If so, can you try this?

  
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: [HTTP::method] request to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check the requested host header 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { 
  
       "www.xyz.com" { 
           Request was for www.xyz.com. Check if the URI starts with /site2 
          if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/site2"}{ 
              Redirect client to www2.xyz.com with the original URI 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www.xyz.com/site2 request, redirecting." 
             HTTP::redirect "http://www2.xyz.com[HTTP::uri]" 
          } else { 
              Not a /site2 URI, so use pool1 
             log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www.xyz.com non-site2 request, using pool1." 
             pool pool1 
          } 
       } 
       "www2.xyz.com" { 
           Request was for www2.xyz.com. Use pool2 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: www2.xyz.com request, using pool2." 
          pool pool2 
       } 
       default { 
           Take some default action for other hosts? 
          log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: No host match." 
       } 
    } 
 }

Hi David,

I am assuming that www2.xyz.com and www.xyz.com are pointing to the same VIP.

Based on this you can do the following

 
 when  HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
    "/site2" {pool pool2 } 
    default {pool pool1 } 
    } 
 } 
 

or if you assign pool1 as the default pool then you can also right it as

 
 when  HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
    "/site2" {pool pool2 } 
    } 
 } 
 

--------------

if http://www2.xyz.com/site2 is pointing a seperate vip then the iRule would look something like the following:

 
 when  HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
    "/site2" {HTTP::redirect "http:\\www2.xyz.com\Site2" } 
    default {pool pool1 } 
    } 
 } 
 

or if you assign pool1 as the default pool then you can also right it as

 
 when  HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { 
    "/site2" {HTTP::redirect "http:\\www2.xyz.com\Site2" } 
    } 
 } 
 

I hope this helps

Hi,

 

 

Thank you for the reply's.

 

 

It started out as a simple redirect that almost works. If user went to http:\\www.xyz.com\anysite they would get the default web pool and everything is good. However, they want to use the same name, but a different site is to go to a different pool. So, http:\\www.xyz.com\diffsite would redirect to a different pool via an irule. That worked. However, some code in the application would contain references to the default site "http:\\www.xyz.com\" and fail since the default site isn't serving up the same app, (but they are the same app, just differnent versions). So, the thought was, have the second server/pool serve up www2.xzy.com, and try and have all the traffic get routed to that new pool.

 

 

So, I think I'm trying to do two things, hit the default site and based of off \sitename do a redirect to a different host name, which is then matched to a different pool. I am hoping the logic in this I-rule will work to allow that?
