What do you mean when you say that the editor will take this command? The TCP::local_port command is read-only and in your case you are trying to set it to a value. When I load the above iRule into the editor and try to save it, it yields this error:

 

 

"command is not valid in the current scope"

 

 

 

I'm not quite sure what you are getting at with regards to a wild-card pool. A pool is just a group of servers with each server having a pre-defined port. Do you mean that you would like to have a single pool with all the backend servers, but be able to select a certain subset depending on the 4xxx value you are calculating? If you could clarify that a bit, then there might be some more iRule stuff we can do to make it happen.
