Need to route a URI to particular pool

Hi there

 

I have the following requirement and I know its achiveable on bigIP but I am not sure how to go about it. Basically, we want to use it as an intelligent router. we got a website www.abc.net/abc which is running on a webserver. What we want to do is to copy this website on a new server with minor changes, use big-ip so that www.abc.net/abc goes to the original server and www.abc.net/xyz goes to the new webserver.

 

 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

 

 

Kind regards

    Hi Taimoor,

     

     

    I thought all the load balanced traffic through the BIG-IP was via HTTP. If you need to inspect the HTTP headers or content in an iRule, you must decrypt the HTTPS using a client SSL profile if the request is encrypted, and you need to add an HTTP profile to the VIP. Do you have a cert/key for the fully qualified domain name that resolves to the VIP? If so can you try testing with a client SSL and HTTP profile added to the HTTPS VIP?

    Hi Aaron

     

    Correct me if I am wrong, I was under the impression that its only contents not the URI which gets encrpyted in SSL. On that assumption I thought the big-ip should be able to route the traffic to proper webserver base on uri.

     

    Could you please send me or link up the instruction on how to install cert/key on a client ssl profile. Does it have to be client or server ssl profile?
