I am trying to see if it's possible to route user requests to serverA or serverB based on their IP address or Host Name.
Currently users are accessing an application via URL, https://thisismyprodserver:9999 let's call this serverA and now the business want to set up a serverB and deploy the new code here. They then want to filter some of the users to use serverB for testing but without them knowing any difference as they are still access their application using the same URL. The don't want the user to see any difference on the front end. Once a small number of users have tested the updated application on serverB they will then route all remaining users over to serverB which will now become production.
I was hoping the Datapower could step in and route the request to either serverA or serverB based on the incoming users IP address.
The current flow is USER Request <->WebServer <->AppServer I was wondering if the Datapower could step in and change the flow to USER Request ->WebServer -> IDG -> ServerA -> ServerB
Application is running in WAS v9 and the Webserver is Apache 2.4
I am also looking to see if this can be done via the WebServer but would like to integrate the IDG into the application.
