200.200.200.222 is a fake pool member (not existing). this only works with round robin lb method. when using ratio lb method and giving 200.200.200.222 ratio 2, connection gets stuck with it which is finally sent to 200.200.200.111. i guess counter (ratio) might have some problem when doing LB::reselect. 

[root@ve1023:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.79:80
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members {
      200.200.200.101:80 {}
      200.200.200.222:80 {}
   }
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b pool foo111 list
pool foo111 {
   members 200.200.200.111:80 {}
}

[root@ve1023:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when LB_SELECTED {
   if {[IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals 200.200.200.222]}{
      LB::reselect pool foo111
   }
}

when SERVER_CONNECTED {
   log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port] -> [IP::local_addr clientside]:[TCP::local_port clientside] -> [IP::remote_addr]:[TCP::remote_port]"
}
}
