Global variables question

Thanks

Yes I did see the rule caveat, so no worries there.

So in the scenario that I have two virtual servers VS1 and VS2 and I wax max connections for VS1 to be 100 and for VS2 to be two hundred if could do something like this....

SET_MAX_LIMITS Irule

  
  when RULE_INIT {  
      Set Global variables value without affecting the other iRule  
     set ::max_active_clients_vs1 100 
     set ::max_active_clients_vs2 200 
  } 
 

I would then have 2 copies of the main irule (one assigned to VS1 and one assigned to VS2) that would have RULE_INIT sections like this...

  
  when RULE_INIT {  
      Set Global variables value without affecting the other iRule  
     set ::total_active_clients_vs1 0 
  } 
  remainder of vs1 irule checking against ::max_active_clients_vs1 
 

  
  when RULE_INIT {  
      Set Global variables value without affecting the other iRule  
     set ::total_active_clients_vs2 0 
  } 
  remainder of vs2 irule checking against ::max_active_clients_vs2 
 

When I want to adjust the ::max_active_clients_xxx I just amend the initial irule through the F5 control centre.

The only question I have is do I need to associate the "SET_MAX_LIMITS" irule to VS1 and/or VS2 or can it just sit standalone?

Thanks again.
