well it shows up but only because it is set on the 2nd LB_request I am pretty sure. I have no way to check between the first LB_request and the second one.

My question is why does the "persist source_addr" command in the Irule not work?

if {[HTTP::uri] contains "sso=a" || [class match [IP::client_addr] equals ifb_oam_qaq_persist_sso_a ]} {
    if {$debug} {
        log local0. "${prefix}Request from client: [IP::remote_addr]"
        log local0. "${prefix}Selecting member 10.110.3.11 based on SSO redirect"
    }
    pool ap-tcsso.infarmbureau.com_https_pool member 10.110.3.11
    persist source_addr
}
