Hi Sourav, This would be doable only if the information can be retrived from the payload of the first request sent by the client. could you provide more information about how MQTT protocol works? Is there any server banner? A simple TCP dump containing an example of the message you want to route would be appreciated and allow us to deliver you an accurate answer. Baptiste
