Hi Brian,

 

I think a good approach is to create the dynamic class listing all the pool members via cron job and a shell script. Luckily one has already been created as a solution for another problem.

 

 

Go to the following link

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.Pool__Member__Status__Page_on_a__Virtual__Server_v10.ashx

 

 

While this link is for an iRule regarding pool status, it still contains a cron script to which you can extract pool information into a class file which can be used for any other application.

 

 

I hope this helps
