Thanks Owen, we indeed run multiple active STM’s so the partitioning solution was where I was guessing we would end up. I did also come across the PBR solution but was not keen to go in that direction. Regards, Mathew ... View more

Thanks for the reply Owen. I’ve consulted the documentation and had noted your suggested solution. That was the source of my 1:1 comment being you bind back end nodes to STM’s. Unless I am misunderstanding the solution that strikes me as counterproductive in an environment that on has 2 nodes (servers) I have no choice here as I need the servers in a pool to see the connecting clients IP address for security reasons. ...

Stephen,               Just to let you know I have successfully upgraded the Dev STM’s from 9.1 --> 9.4 without incident. It was indeed (as you noted) the naming convention used that was not liked by version 9.2 and above. Thanks for all your help today you were a great help. Have a great weekend. Matt ... View more

Thanks for the update Owen, I was really pulling my hair out over this one. Having very little experience with traffic script I of course took the approach I was doing something wrong. ... View more

Thanks for the feedback Owen, during my troubleshooting I kind of work my way around to that conclusion as well and as such placed my persistence rule before the 'pool.use()' rule. Unfortunately it had no affect. } else if( string.containsI( $url, "teamsites.company.com.au" ) ) { connection.setPersistence("Sharepoint Cookie Insert Persistence"); <-- I'm inserting the rule here         pool.use( "SharePoint Teamsites Pool" ); The script is directing the traffic to the pools correctly but for some reason it completely ignores the persistence rule. Here is the persistence rule for ref., no spelling errors between the traffic rule and persistence entry. I was thinking about using 'pool.select()' but time has run our now on the project so for now I have hard set the persistence under each pool. ... View more

Using the stand alone rules supplied in your last post I can indeed see the persistence being set. As soon as I embed this into my existing script (removing the old persistence part) I get no result, the persistence is not set. ... View more

Sure thing Aidan, I have included a basic topology so you can understand what I’m trying to achieve. In short there are three SharePoint web services, I have been asked to create a separate Virtual server for each one even though they are served off the same severs. You’ll notice there are a couple of extra pools, these are used for content checks. The servers need to query their own front end to ensure the content is not stale and to do so must be load balanced to themselves. Request Rule $teamsite_pool = "Sharepoint Teamsite Pool"; $companynet_pool = "Sharepoint companynet Pool"; $mysite_pool = "Sharepoint Mysite Pool"; $transparent_session_persistence = "Sharepoint Cookie Insert Persistence"; $url = http.getheader( "Host"); $sessiondata = ""; # These rules deal with content checks, SP_Server_1 and 02 need to be load balanced to themselves if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "teamsites.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "teamsites" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "companynet.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "companynet" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "mysite.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.20" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "mysite" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_1" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "teamsites.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "teamsites" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "companynet.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "companynet" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "mysite.company.com.au" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } else if( string.ipmaskmatch( request.getremoteip(), "172.172.10.30" )         && http.getheader( "Host" ) == "mysite" ){         pool.use( "SharePoint CC SP_Server_2" ); } # End of content check rules # Start of normal traffic rules else if( $url == "teamsites" ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint Teamsites Pool" ); } else if( $url == "teamsites.company.com.au" ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint Teamsites Pool" ); } else if( string.containsI( $url, "companynet" ) ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint companynet Pool" ); } else if( string.containsI( $url, "companynet.company.com.au" ) ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint companynet Pool" ); } else if( string.containsI( $url, "mysite" ) ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint Mysite Pool" );   } else if( string.containsI( $url, "mysite.company.com.au" ) ) {       $sessiondata = "none";         pool.use( "SharePoint Mysite Pool" );   } if( $sessiondata != "none" ) {    if( $sessiondata ) {         connection.setPersistence( $transparent_session_persistence );    } } Response Rule $class = connection.getPersistence(); log.info ($class); ...
