Hi Lboogie25,

you may try this snippet if each pool needs a different IP address filter...

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
    if { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals x.x.x.x/24] and ([TCP::local_port] == 80) } then {
        pool HTTP-Pool
    } elseif { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals x.x.x.x/24] and ( [TCP::local_port] == 22 ) } then { 
        pool SSH-Pool 
    } 
}

... or if both pools using the same IP address filter, then try this snippet...

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
    if { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals x.x.x.x/24] {
        if { [TCP::local_port] == 80 } then {
            pool HTTP-Pool
        } elseif { [TCP::local_port] == 22 } then { 
            pool SSH-Pool 
        } 
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
