Issues with pool redirect
We're trying to move a website from on prem to a cloud provider 1 page at a time and decided that trying to do everything on the F5 would be the best way to do it. So I setup a test environment with a pool redirect through irules for the first page we want to move (page /abc)-
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/abc" }{
pool pool_cloud}}
The pool redirect works great, the problem we're running in to now is when a user goes to http://mywebsite.com/abc and then back to http://mywebsite.com it keeps trying to load the main page in the cloud which isn't ready yet and not the original on-prem page even though DNS points at the on-prem page.
I don't know if there's some sort of caching that's causing this or a setting on F5 that could help.
