Configuring multiple pools under same VIP in F5 Load Balancer

Sabaris,

Either one of these should work, though I believe the second one consumes less resources due to the switch statement. The 'string tolower' doesn't have to be in there, though it could also be in both, just depends how you want to do it.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/newapp" } {
        use pool pool_abc_newapp
    } else {
        use pool pool_abc
    }
}


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
    switch -glob $uri {
    "/newapp*" {
        use pool pool_abc_newapp
    }
    default {
        use pool pool_abc
    }
}

There is no need to map the pool physically with VIP. The irule will do it. when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[string tolower[HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/newapp"} { pool pool_abc_newapp } else { pool pool_abc } }

You don't need to select any default pool on VIP, just associate the irule with VIP.
