Snat pool choice based on destination URL
Hi,
We have a group of servers that make outbound HTTP requests to a partner. We'd like requests going to a specific uri, call it partner.com/a to come from a specific pool of addresses. Requests destined to partner.com/b should come from a different pool of addresses. We'd like to know of that's possible?
To ensure I'm understood I would like something like:
Source hosts on our internal vlan: 10.1.0.x
Destination URL: http://partner.com/a
Source NATd IPs: x.1.1.1-16
Destination URL: http://partner.com/b
Source NATd IPs: x.1.1.17-32
All the outbound requests are HTTP, no-ssl on the outbound request.
The only solution I've found would be to specify a wildcard virtual of 0.0.0.0 and then assign a rule that does all nat translation, based on various source addresses and other measures. But, wouldn't I generate quite a bit more load on the system if I need to run through an iRule on every outbound request, over using standard snat entries?
Thanks for your time.
