    You could do something simple like

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::method] equals "GET" } {
       pool 
       } else {

         }

Oh, we still want GET request to go to all other webservers. It's only the one pool we want to restrict to only having GETS. So would we do something like this... when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::method] equals "GET" } && { [pool equals elastic]}{ pool elastic } else { HTTP::respond 405 "Method not allowed" } }
