Source IP to certain pools

I have a customer that has a JCAPS application and I have configured basic load balancing to two nodes on all ports. That works fine. Now they want to send certain customers only to certain nodes. But instead of the nodes being the actual server IPs, they will be RedHat cluster instances. Therefore, is one server fails, the other will take over both instances. I think I have come up with a solution but I would appreciate your input and give me a little sanity check.:D

 

 

I figured I would create two pools, each with one RedHat instance. Remove the current pool from the VIP and configure an iRule as follows:

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

if { [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals $::Customerlist_01] } {

 

pool JCAPS_CustomerPool_01

 

} else {

 

pool JCAPS_CustomerPool_02

 

}

 

}

 

 

I thought about doing a switch statement for future expandability but this seemed a little easier to do a proof of concept.
