server x can indeed process the country lookup.
that will then force the user to be sent a re-direct and then follow that to generate a second call back to the original URL which would then be able to lookup which country they are in.
is there anyway to do it in a single fetch? ie get the response back from server x and then re-submit the request back to the correct pool?
is there any way to add custom TCL commands? ie I could put an app on the F5 itself that does the geo lookup if I can call it from the TCL? Or opening a tcp socket connection to server x, etc?
I can think of so many ways that it would be good to be able to use GeoIP based lookups in IANA rules, wonder if it would ever become a feature!
