Hi,

 

 

Got it working so thanks very much for your help. If you don't mind I would just like to claify my understanding.

 

 

If client address is from ServerGroup then it will first check Pool1 member 10.1.2.3 80 is not down. If it is not down it will send the traffic to this pool member.

 

 

If Pool1 member 10.1.2.3 80 is down it checks to see if Pool1 member 10.1.2.4 80 is not down. If it is not down it will send traffic sourced from ServerGroup to Pool1 member 10.1.2.4 80.

 

 

 

Everything not equal to ServerGroup is always just sent to Pool1.

 

 

One question if Pool1 member 10.1.2.3 80 goes down and comes back up then traffic from ServerGroup should then start using Pool1 member 10.1.2.3 8 as for each new connection it will check the i-rule? Therefore the persitence profile is invalid for traffic sourced from ServerGroup?

 

 

Thanks again
