Hi Dave,

 

 

As you've found, there isn't an iRule command that will return a list of all current members of a pool, regardless of state. You could use a shell script called from cron which populates a datagroup with all of the pool members and then reference that from an iRule.

If you think it would be useful to have an iRule command which returns all pool members, you could open a request for enhancement case with F5 Support. It seems like it would be useful to have such a command for this scenario as well as answering questions like 'what percentage of servers in a pool are up?'.
