Sorry for the confusion. What I meant to say was that I'd like to send a 403 or 404 if the 'True-Client-IP' matches my data list 'banned_addr_list' (my iRule shows a 404 response). This was suggested by Hamish in his previous reply:

" The best approach in this situation would be to give back an HTTP/404 result everytime rather than a reject. So the connection stays up for the next request. "

 

 

Would either of these responses work better? The goal is to stop the requests from hitting the servers, but not take down the connection.

 

 

Thanks again,
