Name Based Virtual Hosting with LTM

For the httpclass configuration, that would be:

 

 

[code]

 

profile httpclass hotkittehs_class {

 

defaults from httpclass

 

pool hotkittehs

 

redirect none

 

hosts "iz.hotkittehs.com"

 

}

 

profile httpclass bukkitsgalor_class {

 

defaults from httpclass

 

pool bukkitsgalor

 

redirect none

 

hosts "www.bukkitsgalor.org"

 

}

 

profile httpclass icanhaz_class {

 

defaults from httpclass

 

pool icanhaz

 

redirect none

 

hosts "icanhaz.devcentral.f5.com"

 

}

 

[/code]

 

 

Then in the virtual, you would attach these classes in the resource section instead of the irule. I'm not sure which would be more efficient in processing requests, but the irule cuts down on some configuration, particularly if your vhosts are quite numerous.
