Hi ZJ,

 

Here is a method that i used in the past

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.SingleNodePersistence.ashx

 

 

 

You can alter it so that you can toggle to turn on persistance for one node over the other via HTTP request.

 

 

That is the beauty of the F5 in that you can customize active/passive methods without relying a vendors version of what a "real" active/passive configuration
