Multi-cluster routing policy

The multi-cluster routing policy field is displayed when you select any of the permit actions. Also, the field only applies if there are multiple target clusters. If the target clusters are dynamically computed, the number and order of target clusters is not known until runtime.

Assigns the mult-cluster routing policy to one of the following options:

Failover: Find the first cluster with an available server and load balance across that cluster. The order of a dynamically generated list of clusters is undefined.
Weighted round-robin: Weighted round-robin load balance. For UDP retransmission, maintain affinity.
Weighted least outstanding request: Weighted least outstanding request load balance. For UDP retransmission, maintain affinity.

Redirect URL

This field is displayed when you select the redirect action. With this routing policy, the ODR redirects the request to the specified URL.

Reject code

This field is displayed when you select the reject action. This routing policy causes the ODR to reject the request, and return the specified HTTP error code.

Local resource path

This field is displayed when you select the local resource action. With this routing policy, the request is routed to the local file system of the ODR from which static content is served.
