A clone pool receives an exact copy of the packet (starting at L3), so there is no destination IP/port translation. It is typically used for something like an IDS. If that works for you, then a clone pool is a much simpler way to go. However, if you need to essentially "load-balance" to two different nodes simultaneously, then you must use an iRule.
