You might want to post this over at the appropriate iRules forum. iControl is our management web service API.

 

 

As for how you would implement an iRule, it will depend on which version of the product you are running 4.x, or 9.x. You will want to work based off the client ip. IP::client_addr is a 9.x TCL variable, and you posted this in the iControl 4.x forum which implies you are on a v4.x version of BIG-IP.

 

 

If you post this question to the appropriate iRules forum, we can help you out.

 

 

As for getting started, first read the BIG-IP reference guide's section on iRules. Then browse the docs and tips. Then check out the forums for examples of what you are looking to do. Odds are it has been addressed at least once before.
