Load Balancer to forward the traffic when the Pool is down
In our setup we have a Virtual server MM1-Traffic and it has an iRule associated with it namely "Vantrix-v7.0". The purpose of this iRule is to differentiate the POST/GET in the HTTP requests and redirect the traffic to the pools Van-Get and Van-Post accordingly. Till now we have no issues as the traffic is going smooth and fine.
The customer have asked to implement redirection if any pools Van-Get or Van-Post are down redirect the traffic to another server/pool. I created Pool called MM1-Redirect, then created the iRules POST-Redirect & GET-Redirect and added this iRules to the MM1-Traffic virtual server but I am not able to see that the F5 redirecting the traffic if Van-Get or Van-Post pools are down.
Kindly advice and let me know if you need more information.
