I want to enter FQDN for pool member and not IP address

I have searched through DevCentral without any luck to my specific problem.

 

I am running 11.5.1 HF7.

 

I want to create a pool (round robin) with 4 members but have the members entered by FQDN not IP address.

 

Is pool/node entry possible with FQDN in a later version?

 

I see that in an iRule you can use RESOLV::lookup but not sure how to 'fake' the round robin part...

    You can use fqdn as the name when you create a node, which will show up with that name once in a server pool.

     

    The fqdn feature in v11.6.0 does more. As I recall, it actually checks the DNS to validate its existence and will disable the pool member if the DNS lookup fails.
