external pool member

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if I am thinking right on a solution...

 

Basically the request is for a VIP to SSL offload requests and if the URI contains a certain link "/testdev/" then pass to a pool called testdev. This pool is to contain one pool member, but it is a public node. The comms from the F5 to the external pool member is fine, but what is complicating things is that the external pool member is a https site.

 

My thinking is that my iRule which redirects if the URI contains /testdev/ has to be forwarded to a new VIP which is using the testdev pool with the public pool member as the backend and the public website cert as the server SSL attached to the new VIP.

 

Hope that makes sense on what I am trying to acheive.

 

Thanks.

 

P.s. Redirect is not an option on request of the solution.
