Thank you Aaron, I did look the askF5 and there are different types of persistence, but the one I am looking for I couldn't find.

 

 

In my case, the http request is coming from a mobile device, in the http header there is a unique device id. So here is what I want to happen:

 

 

The first request from the device can go to any of the pool member because there is nothing persisted on that device id. The subsequent requests should go to the same pool member as the first request because the first one has some cahced information that the second request needs.

 

 

I also want to control how many minutes the "persistent session" is active, and after how many minutes it will expire.

 

 

Thanks.Sheida.
