haha... you F5 folks need to stop defending yourselves, its makes you sound, well, a little guilty. the fact remains, you're offering a 'powerful tool' that no one knows how to use, and you dont offer any instruction or well formed documentation in iRules at all. i spend around 4K for an F5 bootcamp and i learned a few cool things regarding iRules and TCL syntax, but what I'm trying to do is beyond what my F5 Sales Engineers know how to do at this point so I'm not expecting answers from you guys anymore. its like asking Ronald McDonald for a good hamburger.

I did get hyperlinks from peers, but thats it. I cobbled together a lot of code, logged a lot of results, looked at a lot of tcpdumps and now im 'proficient'. I've solved my problem... just need to reconcile some fault tolerance and performance tuning.
