break irules into smaller pieces

We have a large irule. We would like to break it into smaller TCL procs, may be more than one. Is that feasible? We are using 9.0.3.     Thanks Hugo

Thanks for your answer Brian. I do have already more than one iRule attached to a VIP and more than one VIP using the same iRule. Even if I go the route of breaking the iRule into multiple iRules then there is the obstacle of passing parameter(s) from one iRule to the other.

 

 

It would be good if one day F5 allows us to create a "library of procedures" like HTTP::host or HTTP::URI, for example I could create Claritas::proc1 and Claritas::proc2. So we would be equaly happy even if the procedures are not in the "same" iRule. I guess there is no way to "enhance" the core. Do you know that?

 

 

Thanks, Hugo
