Using HSL to replicate traffic to another pool

I would like to send a copy of every request / response targeted for a specific VIP to another VIP. Is this possible? What about using HSL?
  • Hi Hugh,

     

     

    Here's an article Colin wrote up using an iRule I wrote:

    It sends one or more copies of the HTTP requests to a separate pool (not a virtual server). It doesn't handle responses. Though you could probably add that logic. I did basic functional testing, but the customer hasn't tested or put it into production.

     

     

    If you want to test this and have any questions either reply here or email me: aaron at f5 dot com

     

     

    Thanks, Aaron
