Thanks for the help Michael,

 

 

So yes as my group is quite large I think ill create an external data group. So is the following correct?

 

 

/config/bigip.conf

 

class bots {

 

type string

 

filename "/var/class/bots.class"

 

}

 

 

/var/class/bots.class

 

"bots1"

 

"bots2"

 

"bots3"

 

 

In the irule i can just call this datagroup "bots"?

 

if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::header User-Agent]] contains $::bots] } {

 

...

 

 

thanks,

 

 

Neil
