iRule to route

I want to create an irule for the below. Is it appropriate to have specific URI's define going to the URI Pool or can we say anything with a URI goes to this pool. Everything else root of example.com goes to another pool

 

example.com goes to pool Example

 

and anything else example.com with any URI goes to pool URI_POOL

 

would this be appropriate:

 

when HTTP REQUEST { if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/*/}{ pool URI_POOL} else pool EXAMPLE }

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] eq "example.com" } {
 if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
 pool POOL-EXAMPLE
 } else {
 pool POOL_URI-POOL
 }
}
}

    Hi Falooda,

    you may try one of the snippets below...

    Using a 

    [string match]
    syntax:

    when HTTP REQUEST { 
    if { [string match "/*/*" [HTTP::path]] } then { 
        pool URI_POOL
    } else {
        pool EXAMPLE 
    }
}

    Using a 

    [switch -glob]
    syntax:

    when HTTP REQUEST { 
    switch -glob -- [HTTP::path] "/*/*" { 
        pool URI_POOL
    } default {
        pool EXAMPLE 
    }
}

    Note: The first example has a slightly better performance.

    Cheers, Kai
