Thanks Syed

So I match the IP first, then based on the URL I choose a different Farm. Is that how to interpret this? I was under the impression that class-map statements have to match first before a farm is chosen. Thanks.

We are matching class-map statement here and selecting different farms for different conditions.

There are two class maps. First one to select the Virtual Ip and second to check the layer 7 details of the incoming traffic.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you again very much. This saves me from having to create a whole new VIP/Farm.

Little correction.

class-maps are compared in sequential order. Adjust the class order appropriately under L7 policy map.
