I've not heard of a case where things didn't take effect after iRules were switched, but I certainly haven't tested every possible scenario. Frankly if they're unable to re-produce it, I'm not going to be able to give you much of an answer, since I don't know what happened when things "failed".

 

 

That said, I'd watch for variable naming overlap, rule naming overlap, etc. to avoid any of the obvious possibilities. They shouldn't cause any issues, but erring on the safe side isn't bad. Other than that I think you'll be fine. If you ever do find a way to reproduce it we might be able to track down what's causing the issue, so let us know.
