NimbostratusCookies and Persistence methods
I am trying to solve an issue with cookie based persistence. I am using a simple iRule to look for the presence of a value within a cookie. If the value exists, the user is assigned to a specific pool. User's without this value go to the default pool. The issue I seem to be having is that not every incoming request, that compose the page, specifically those requesting static assets, contain the cookie. When I check for cookies, I can see two persist records; one for the desired pool and one for the default. Would I be better off using a hash method and inserting a cookie, which I could then check to determine the proper pool, or is there a simpler method?

Interesting scenario. Rather than persist on the cookie, you could direct to the pool, and then persist on the source IP. However, if there are multiple user/clients behind a proxy, then all behind the proxy will persist to the "cookie" pool. I think you will end up having to insert a cookie as well. And I think you will have to create a UIE persistence profile. Hoolio helped me with this - the thread name is "universal persistence using jsessionid".
