Different pool depeding on the URI

With the F5 is it possible to send all traffic for www.domain.com to a default pool, but when someone requests www.domain.com/images it goes to a special images pool of servers?     Thanks   ...

Yes. We do something like this:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

use tolower to make the match case-insensitive

 

switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {

 

 

"/images/*" {

 

pool ImagesPool

 

}

 

 

"/js/*" {

 

pool JsPool

 

}

 

 

etc.

 

etc.

 

 

default {

 

pool defaultPool

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

The URI gets compared to the strings you specify, and if it matches, the request gets sent to specified pool. If it doesn't match any of them it falls through to the pool specified in the default clause.
