Destination https:// filtering with non ssl module?

[Chris.Swan]

I am led to believe that it's possible to load balance to different destination webs servers based on destination https:// adresses. I enclose my config which is not yet up and running as I am stuck at this point:

I am using 2 11501’s without ssl modules in redundancy to load balance in the following way:

when going to HTTPS://10.220.216.50/InternetBanking go to IBANKING SERVER

when going to HTTPS://10.220.216.50/BLAST GO TO BLAST1 BLAST2 SERVERS

I think that I have correctly configured services and owners but I do not see how to perform the destination url Routing that I need.

If you can advise that would be great and also if it is not possible i would like to know that too.

thanks

Sam

CSS11501-TOP#

without the SSL module the CSS can't decode the HTTPS traffic [that's the purpose of HTTPS/SSL].

so the CSS does not see the url and is not able to filter or take action based on the url.

You need to buy a CSS11501-S to get the SSL module or buy a CSS1150[3|6] with an SSL module.

i was hoping that the initial request that went through to the server was going to be clear then encrypted afterwards but that is obviously not the case.

we were misinformed that this would work as we wanted so we will now purchase the ssl module quickly.
