ICMP/TCP Deny on Pool Down

We are in the same boat, migrated from Cisco the F5. We have GTM's but are still using the GSS's currently with local services on LTM's. I tried both of these irules and the 3 way handshake seems to complete still, so my GSS doesnt mark them down. The connection is dropped right away after the handshake, but its too little too late for the GSS. Any ideas? My pool members are down (failed) not suspended. no persistence profile on this test vip. 10.2 code.

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

if { [active_members POOL-PURISMA_UAT2] == 0} {

 

discard }

 

}

 

 

also tried

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] == 0 } {

 

discard }

 

}

 

 

any ideas?
