If you format the URL list correctly, you can import it into an external datagroup.

e.g.

"name1" := "/path1",
"name2" := "/path2",
"name3" := "/path3",

Once setup, you can schedule a transfer of this list to F5.

Once on the box, you can schedule the following command using iCall or Cron to update the datagroup

modify sys file data-group [my-data-group-name] source-path file:/var/tmp/url.list
