F5 load balancer config question (basic question)
I have a virtual sever that is on top of a pool with 4 nodes. This VS is serving up multiple websites. If I want to serve up a new site, but only have it serve content from 2 nodes, can I do this with the same VS? Or do I need to create a new VS with a pool with only 2 nodes?
What's happening now is that when user enters domain.com the F5 is sometimes delivering content to a server that does not have a site set up in IIS.
server1 = content
server2 = content
server3 = no content/dummy site for IP of server
server4 = no content/dummy site for IP of server

Iis has host names. I welcome the irule help. I have not used them before.
What version of code are you running? As of version 9.4 you can use an HTTP Class to send traffic to a specific pool or redirect it based on Hostname or URI.
Create two pools one with all the standard nodes and a second with the 2 new content servers in it.
Local Traffic --> Profiles --> Protocols --> HTTP Class
Add the Hostname for the new site in the Host list
Set the Send To Pool to the second new content pool

If you can make a decision based on URI, I can give you the basic's of how to do this using one VS, a second pool and a iRule.
Just rememver if you create a second VS, it needs to have its own host name and IP address.
Using something in the URI with a iRule you can have a single VS with a single IP address.
