Hi Gizmo,

 

it might be possible to inject a cookie_name=portnumber on the initial redirect and then use the cookie_value as differentiator for different instances.

 

iRule for :443

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz/login" } then {
        set pool_port [HTTP::cookie value pool_port]
        if { $pool_port == 9460 } then {
            pool application1
        } elseif { $pool_port == 9461 } then {
            pool application2
        } elseif { $pool_port == 9462 } then {
            pool application3
        } else {
             Default pool or error message
        }
    } else {
         Your redirect code but with additional cookie insert
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
