Hi!

I tried your script - and looks good in the F5 logs - however the server logs aren't showing showing any connections.

Hi chris_wood , 

While assinging my iRule script in your virtual server, did you assign the correct pool in Virtual server resources ? 

you sould assign a pool has 2 pool members ( and only replace first "x.x.x.x" by first pool member IP and do the same with the second pool member ip ) 

Please Take this Packet capture to see the server and client side connections , and see the effect from F5 Bigip 

tcpdump -nnni 0.0:nnnp -vvv -w /var/tmp/path_test.pcap host x.x.x.x

#put Client_ip address instead of "x.x.x.x"

 I will be waiting your response
