how to load balance outbound traffic with ltm based on the destination server hostname

We have a scenario like below.

 

We have two ISP links , we want to send the traffic for the office365 via a single ISP and everyother outbound traffic via other link.

 

Can we achieve this by logic

 

if http_request host:uri contains office, route the traffic to one ISP if not to other ISP.

 

Am using the default gateway on F5 as pool which contains both the routers.

iRules
LTM

    Dear,

     

    How about creating two different virtual servers.

     

    One for all ports with associating a Pool with all the next hop router IP Addresses. and other with port 80 and associating with HTTP profile and irule to forward the traffic to a pool with single ISP if the url has office360 else, send it to pool with all the ISP routers IP addresses.

     

    Please let me know the result.

     

    Regards,

    Hi,

     

    really hard to do because most of outgoing connection to o365 are SSL.

     

    you can try with Brad's irule to make a LB decision based on SSL server name header
