  • Hi Slvere,

    You can't switch APM policies on a Virtual Server based on the requested HOST-Header.

    You would need to deploy a VIP-targeting-VIP setup to become able to inspect the HOST-header on an external VS and then selectively forward the traffic to multiple internal VS's based on the requested HOST-headers. Each of the internal VS's may then have a dedicated APM Policy...

    www.site-a.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.1.1.1 -> APM Policy A
    www.site-b.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.2.2.2 -> APM Policy B
    www.site-c.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.3.3.3 -> APM Policy C
