if you want to share information among connections, you may consider using "table" command.

another tricky way is to use global static variable since each tmm has its own value.
my big-ip has 2 tmm. "bar" is front-end virtual server. "one" and "two" are back-end virtual servers. users always connect to "bar" virtual server.
