NimbostratusURL hostname redirect to pool
We have a request to redirect traffic coming in to the same VIP as such: www.OURCOMPANY.com --> Pool A dev.OURCOMPANY.com --> Pool B mo.OURCOMPANY.com --> Pool C services.OURCOMPANY.com --> Pool D What is the best way to do this?

Benjamin_Moore_Using this: if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "dev.OURCOMPANY.com"} elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "mo.OURCOMPANY.com"} elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "services.OURCOMPANY.com"} else I could determine what the hostname is, but how do I send it to the different pools?

What version of code are you running? If v11.4 or above, you can use local traffic policy to match on the host and direct to a pool accordingly. Otherwise it can be done via iRule.
- Benjamin_Moore_I see where I can select the host that I want but not a place where I can select the POOL to send the traffic to. Something like in this iRule: Inspect the hostname provided in the HTTP host field and determine which pool to send the traffic to. if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "dev.OURCOMPANY.com"} { pool COMPANYdev } elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "mo.OURCOMPANY.com"} { pool COMPANYmo } elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "services.OURCOMPANY.com"} { pool COMPANYsvcs } else { pool COMPANYprod }

Your local traffic policy would look like this:
Requires: http Controls: forwarding
Then add rules that look like this:
Condition: http-host request host equals dev.ourcompany.com
Action: forward request select pool COMPANYdev .... ...
- Benjamin_Moore_That is exactly what I was missing. Thank you!
- Cory_50405No problem. Happy policy building.
