Getting the configured members of pool in iRule

Thanks Aaron.

 

 

Yeah, I will request the following:

 

- a "members" statement that works like "active_members"

 

- that LB::status returns something other than "down" when the ip:port is not actually a member. Maybe "error" or "nonmember" or just ""? I suppose that there would be people out there depending on "down" for a nonmember, so perhaps that can't be done.

 

 

I see the cron approach (the contest winning status vserver), though I would hate to do anything that would live outside of a configuration sync. We may want to have the search servers query the LB via iControl and find out what pools they are members of that way. Then the iRule can return the pool name instead of "YES"/"NO" and if the name is one of the pools the server is a member of, then that's "YES".

 

 

Would appreciate any other ideas people think of.
