After a ticket with the F5 support team, it turned out that the "ACCESS::acl eval" can be used to re-evaluate static, user defined ACLs and not dynamic ACLs. Hopefully documentation will be updated in the iRule wiki to show that clearly.

 

Also a feature request was submitted to expand the scope of the "ACCESS::acl eval" command to also work with dynamic ACLs. Will it ever show up in a release? Time will tell.
