Redirect based on URL content

[luckymike33]

Hi,

I have received a request to forward traffic based on http header; specifically if the header contains www.sample.co.uk it should go to its regular serverfarm, if it contains www.sample.co.uk/wordpress it should go to a different serverfarm, probably containing a single server - the wordpress server.

My first question is - is this even possible with the ACE? If so, does anyone have a sample config they could post here?

Lastly although there are answers to similar questions before I do appreciate any help anyone can give me as I don't have much time on the ACE, and they are pretty critical to our company, i.e. I will be taken out the back and shot if I cause an outage.

I can post detailed existing config if required.

Best wishes

Mike

Hi Mike,

Can't let you get shot then huh:)

class-map match-all WWW-VIP
  2 match virtual-address 20.20.20.10 tcp eq www---->This 20.x.x.x should resolve to normal url
class-map type http loadbalance match-any wordpress
  2 match http url /wordpress
 
policy-map type loadbalance first-match SLB_LOGIC
  class wordpress
    serverfarm wordpress
  class class-default
    serverfarm WWW-FARM

policy-map multi-match CLIENT_VIPS
  class WWW-VIP
    loadbalance vip inservice
    loadbalance policy SLB_LOGIC
    loadbalance vip icmp-reply

Above configuration will ensure that www.sample.co.uk/wordpress goes to serverfarm wordpress and everything else is sent to WWW-FARM or whatever the farm(regular) you want it to go.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Kanwal

Hi Kanwal,

Just checking my status on the forum and saw I left this one hanging - sorry.

Unfortunately I have not been able to implement this as the business no longer need this requirement.

I am going to mark as correct anyway as I learnt something out of it, and it was therefore very helpful!

Best wishes
