Honestly, global variables are rarely ever a best practice. Especially if you're setting global variables that will be used by other iRules and on other VIPS. Too much can go wrong and/or get unnecessarily uncomplicated. As much as you may not like it, a centrally-managed and stable data group might be one of your best options.
