Avoid using "(" ")". Use this instead:

virtual test_target_vs

Btw, if the VS is located in a different partition than /Common, you need to reference that partition.

virtual /my_partition/my_vs

Tried that too - unfortunately same error. also, there only a single partition.

is there any pre-requisite for the virtual to work? i.e. something I need to enable/disable perhaps?

Are you using characters different than letters and numbers?

Try with this:

virtual /Common/{my_vs_name}

Note that you have to use curly brackets and replace "my_vs_name" with the exact name of the VS.

Also, take into account that iApps are built under folders

/Common/iApp_folder/my_vs

  thanks mate, really appreciate it. It has finally accepted the IRULE but the target VS is still not seeing any traffic.
  
  I can see trafic on the VS with this IRULE and I can IRULE is getting hits too.
