iRule not triggered on target VIP after using the virtual iRule command to direct traffic to it

Sure can, but all that typing gets to you eventually. I started using aliased commands and functions a long time ago :)

 

 

VIP Defs below. Also another anonymized copy of the secondary rule as I made some changes to it troubleshooting to see if they had any effect.

 

 

From the troubleshooting that I've done so far, it would appear that the pool selection commands in the primary rule that come after the virtual command are overriding the VIP selection as the secondary virtual is zeroed out on stats.

 

 

Thanks for taking a look at this.
