HI Matteo, are you wanting to really redirect, or just to select the the appropriate pool? Can you give a sanitized example of the data-group goal, and how the client connects before/after the decision?

The function/goal of the DG is to provide a correlation between URI:VIP:POOL, in this way I can direct two equals URI to different VIP dinamically, this is a common scenario in my production environment.

The idea is that clients point to a specific VIP, based on URI the iRule invokes the DG (URI:VIP:POOL) and directs the traffic properly.

 

I'm not able to provide you an example because I haven't try to do something like that.

 

Do you have a suggestion about the iRule composition and the DG key:value parameters?

 

Thanks
