iControl method to get pool member FQDN and ephemeral settings on v11.6.x
I was playing around on v11.6 w/HF3 with the new feature that allows you to have FQDN pool members that are updated automatically whenever DNS changes. I purposely chose a DNS name that would return multiple IPs (e.g. and the feature appears to work so far as expected. When using the GUI or tmsh, there are a couple of new attributes associated with these types of pool members, namely 'ephemeral' and 'fqdn' (see example tmsh output below). However, I haven't seen any iControl method to get (or set) these attributes in the online API reference. Has anyone come across any such methods or are they yet to be added (or just simply documented in the API reference)?
