Do you know if I could update the persistence table directly with "persist add" right after the POOL xxx MEMBER xxx statement? If so, could you post an example of the command?

e.g.

 config

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    persist {
        source_addr {
            default yes
        }
    }
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 12
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm pool foo
ltm pool foo {
    members {
        200.200.200.101:80 {
            address 200.200.200.101
        }
    }
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  pool foo member 200.200.200.101
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
  persist add source_addr [IP::client_addr]
}
}
