Continued irule exection paste pool command

I realise that if the pool command is issued in an irule, it must be followed by a 'return', if conditions/pool commands follow in latter logic that could also include the current connection, but why ...

Hi Matt,

 

 

There are reasons to not kill execution of all iRules on a connection once a pool has been selected. You might want to do a header insert in HTTP_REQUEST or HTTP_REQUEST_SEND, select another pool from the same or another iRule or select a pool from another event like HTTP_CLASS_SELECTED. Basically, I don't think the TMM developers could reasonably assume that you wouldn't want to do something else after a pool command.
