NimbostratusBIG-IP, Creating NODE
I want to create a node using Host name instead of IP address
------------
LocalTrafic -> Nodes -> new Node,
General properties
-> Address
-> Name
------------
So, according to the documentation, Address has to be the IP address of a machine. But Instead of IP address I want to create a node using the Host Name.
There has to be a way to do this, otherwise when ever I change the network settings, I have to configure the F5 machine again. But if its configured using Machine Names (Host names on which servers are running), I will not have to reconfigure the F5 machine itself.
Thanks,

Can I write a iRule, like
If (request){
getIp of next Pool Member.
Change IP:port to its Host Name:port
Send request to Host Name:port
}
If (response from server) {
Change Host Name to IP
I know this IP and request object from client.
Send the response to the right client.
}
While doing this session should be maintained.
I am stuck in this from quite a while, I will appreciate if someone has a solution to get around this scenario.
Thanks,
