Hi John,
You'll get a lot more views if you post to the main iRules forum here:
http://devcentral.f5.com/Community/GroupDetails/tabid/1082223/afv/topicsview/aff/5/asg/50/Default.aspx
Yes, you can combine all of those iRules into one using a more efficient switch statement. For details on using switch, you can check this article:
http://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/244/Switch-Gone-Wild-Using-Wildcards-with-the-Tcl-switch-command.aspx
and the switch wiki page:
http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/switchwhen HTTP_REQUEST { Check the requested URI, set to lower case with wildcards switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "*/mtp/*" - "*/console/*" - "*/mtpadm/*" - "*/remote-deploy/*" - "*/juddi/*" - "*/activeemg/*" - "*/console-base/*" - "*/debug-views/*" - "*/plan-creator/*" - "*/monitoring/*" - "*/plugin/*" - "*/system-database/*" { drop } } }
