I guess you could analyse the URI, and if it's that specific method
that's being called you could drop that request onto your robust
servers backend. Search for rsprep in the documentation. Something like:
acl req_heavy_method path_reg <regexp to match your webservice method
in the URI>
use_backend robust_servers if req_heavy_method

Hello,
I'd like to know if it's possible to load balance a soap web service
based on the operation called by the client.
We need this because we have a webservice with several operations
and only one of them is very cpu and time consuming.
We would like to forward the requests for this heavy operation on
robust dedicated servers and let the other servers handle all the
other requests.
We can't split this webservice into two web services (one for the
heavy operation and another one for all the other operations)
because all these operations are supposed to be called within a
session.
Does anybody know if it's possible? Thanks.
Cheers,
Johan
