Use data group or not

Jan,

 

 

Personally , I'd go with an irule without datagroups etc.

 

From your example it looks like you want to use vhosts as a key so the irule will be like

 

 

switch [HTTP::host ] {

 

"www.aa.com" { pool aa ; return }

 

"www.bb.com" { pool bb ; return}

 

}

 

 

with 1.1.1.1 as node xxx

 

with in pool aa node xxx on port 8181 , pool bb node xxx port 8182 etc....

 

 

If on the other hand you want to allow others access to your data groups and not the irules ....

 

You still have to define nodes and pools, and, you'll have to check the host/url against every data-group untill there is a match

 

 

if { [ class match [HTTP::host] equals ] } {

 

 

} elseif { [ class match [HTTP::host] equals ] } {

 

 

 

The same thing can be done with uri's
