Use redirect and pools in same iRule?

TCL gets a little finicky with spacing, plus, you probably want an elseif instead of an if on that second conditional. Try this:

   
   when HTTP_REQUEST {   
     if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/foo" } {   
       HTTP::redirect "http://foo.com" 
     } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/bar" } {   
         pool bar-pool   
     } else {   
         pool default-pool   
     }   
   }

Excellent, this worked. WHat I ended up using:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/blog" } {

 

pool my-aws-blog-pool

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/a1" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa1.somwebsite.com/"

 

} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/a2" } {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa2.somwebsite.com/"

 

} else {

 

HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa1.somwebsite.com/"

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

And this does exactly what I want.

 

 

 

My only lingering question now (and I know it's not an irule question but I'll throw it out there) is how to use a DNS name for a node in a pool... I'm lucky that i can get away in this case without using one, but we have servers using virtual names and so I will need to hit an Amazon EC2 server someday using a hostname in a pool.... but thanks the above help, it works.

 

 

BTW, that pool is made up of virtual servers in amazon, so far it's working nicely.

 

 

 

 

 

Check this thread for that capability:
