Chapter 8: Working with Match Rules
146 Equalizer Installation and Administration Guide
When you are done, the Construct match expression field should now look like this:
12. In our example, we want all the images to be served from either sv_19 or sv_19457. Enable the
check boxes for these two servers in the servers field. (Note that the check box for a server
appears after the server name.) We don’t need to set any flags on this rule, so select the commit
button to create the images rule. The home screen for the Administrative Interface is displayed.
In the left-frame cluster list, Match images should now appear above Match Default for the
cluster.

image servers. So, we’ll create another rule with the same match expression as the Default
[any()], but a restricted list of servers. This effectively replaces the Default match rule with one

cluster screen appears in the right frame.

17. In the flags field, enable the advanced check box. In the list of flags that appears, disable the
right-hand check box for the persist flag; then, enable the left-hand check box next to persist.
(Remember that in our example we’re enabling persist for the content servers, so that persistent
