iRule Persistence

if you want to persist to HTTPS-ThirdPartyApps pool only, why won't you enable persistence only when the pool is selected?

e.g.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   persist none
   switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
      "/folder*" -
      "/folder2/*" -
      "/folder3/*" {
         persist cookie
         pool HTTPS-ThirdPartyApps
      }
   }
}
}

have you seen this sol?

sol7964: Persistence may fail for subsequent requests on Keep-Alive connections

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/900/sol7964.html

and in the real irule, F (folder) is in lower case, isn't it?

hope this helps.
