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?
