adding 2 pool into the same virtual-server

Question

I have 2 pools - YAYA_80 with member 172.16.20.1:80 and 172.16.20.2:80&nbsp;
and a second pool YAYA_0 with member 172.16.20.3:0 and 172.16.20.4:0&nbsp;
I would like to have a single virtual-server 10.10.1.100 port 80 tcp with pool  YAYA_80 and YAYA_0&nbsp;
is that possible?&nbsp;
I don't want to have to vip like 10.10.1.100:80 and 10.10.1.100.&nbsp;
Under the gui, All I can see if the default pool (single pool) and using tmsh It seems like it is the same issue.&nbsp;
 &nbsp;
Thanks for your assistance.&nbsp;

Yes. You could create a single VS on port 0 with the default pool your port-0 pool. Then add an iRule that checks for server port == 80 and set the pool in the iRUle to your port-80 pool.

thanks - I will test today -  
&nbsp; Can you provide a simple example of irule that will accomplish that.

There's probbaly one in codeshare. But a quick one (UNtested, type don the fly) would be something like 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; The code assumes you may set your VS to all-protocols not just TCP and that your port 80 is TCP and not something else. 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; 
when client-connect {
  if { [ IP::protocol ] == 6 }
    if { [TCP:local_port] == 80 } {
      pool my-server-pool-80
    }
  }
}
 &nbsp;

And has a missing { character in it...

when client-connect {
  if { [ IP::protocol ] == 6 } {
    if { [TCP:local_port] == 80 } {
      pool my-server-pool-80
    }
  }
}

CLIENT_ACCEPTED 🙂

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if { [ IP::protocol ] == 6 } {
    if { [TCP:local_port] == 80 } {
      pool my-server-pool-80
    }
  }
}

It would probably be simpler and more efficient to create a separate port 80 and separate port 0 virtual server and avoid the iRule.  Using a separate virtual server per protocol allows you to customize the traffic handling with profiles, idle timeouts, etc.
