}Hi Niels,
Thanks for you reply...I was wondering if I can use use this event statement instead of the "CLIENT_ACCEPTED" because this will be
tied to multiple VIPs. We just want to allow the internal subnets, but not allow any external client's that does not meet where they are coming from, i.e....country code (US and EU)... Would using just the FLOW_INIT work?
Hi,
Yes, for restricting access, the FLOW_INIT event would be sufficient. The CLIENT_ACCEPT event in your case does something extra. It assigns a specific pool for internal users. So it's possible to create a general irule containing the FLOW_INIT event for use on multiple virtual servers and an extra iRule holding the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event for the virtual server that needs it.
