Hi James,
Only one ASM policy will be used by default based on which HTTP class matches the request. If you want to disable web scraping protection for specific geo-locales, you could create two copies of the policy with web scraping disabled on one. Then using an iRule with whereis to check the client IP, you could call HTTP::class to select the correct class and ASM policy.
I see a lot more requests these days for making GeoIP based decisions. You could open a request for enhancement to add logic to the HTTP class filters to match a class based on GeoIP data. You could also ask for a new feature to disable ASM policy enforcement of specific validations by client IP or GeoIP data. If you do this, could you reply back with what you hear from Support?
