Nimbostratusirule with forward command increase a lot number of connections
Hi, I have configured following irule the problem is that with forward command the number of conections goes from 100 to 5000. Is this behavior normal? LTM ver11.4.1
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "my.domain.com" } { forward } else { discard } } Best Regards, MC

I don't think the forward command is behaving the way you may think it should.

Assuming this is a standard (non-forwarding) VIP, try this instead:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { not ( [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "my.domain.com" ) } { discard } } 
Marco_Castro_11Thanks Kevin!
