connection limit across services

Thank you!

I wasn't even aware that there is the possibility of defining some sort of global variables that can be accessed from separate rules. That opens new horizons 🙂

However I have a few questions concerning your suggestion:

1. shouldn't IP::client_addr be sustituted by IP::server_addr (except for the log command of course)?

2. Can I extend the rule so that it will not simply reject the client, but redo the loadbalancing decision and take only those hosts into consideration, which have not exceeded their limit?

By the way, expressions like this remind me of why I dislike TCL...

 if { [info exists ::active_clients([IP::client_addr])] } {

so many brackets...

I simply do not understand how F5 could prefer TCL over Python or Perl...

Anyway, thank you very much for pointing my into the right direction!

Greetings,

Martin
