Because you are doing an if statement within an if statement I'd say you would need this:

 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals 192.168.1.1]}
{ if {[TCP::client_port equals 80} {pool Our-HTTP_Pool}}

if { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals 192.168.1.1]}
{ if {[TCP::client_port equals 22} {pool IRule-22-Test}}
}

A more elegant way would be:

 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::remote_addr] equals 192.168.1.1]}
{ if {[TCP::client_port equals 80} {pool Our-HTTP_Pool}}
elseif {[TCP::client_port equals 22} {pool IRule-22-Test}
}

You might want to consider what you want to do with traffic that doesn't match.

I tried this and it worked like a champ. Thanks for the tip on non-matching traffic. Many thanks for everyone's time!
