hey guys

        log local0. "using pool_webserver_ch_de_bot for UA $uagent"
        }
   }

    hey Nathan

     

    Thanks for your answer. I tryd it first with HTTP_REQUEST, but i had the same results like LB_SELECTED..

     

    our LoadBalancers running on Version 11.6.0, and i use several other iRules with matchclass.

     

    what would you use instead of matchclass?

     

    thanks daniel

    It may be the matchclass thing that prevented it working with HTTP_REQUEST. The CLASS command replaces matchclass. See: matchclass and class

    This should do it:

    when HTTP_REQUEST

   set user_agent [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]]

   if { [class match $user_agent contains datagroup_crawler] } {

      pool pool_webserver_ch_de_bot

      log local0. "using pool_webserver_ch_de_bot for UA $uagent"

        }
   }
