Hi Adidasn2019,

 

I've to repeat my question:

 

Why are you not using the build-in FQDN functionality of LTM's pool members. There is no need to resolve the IP manually within iRules on every single request, if the pool itself is able to maintain the DNS resolution on a configurable interval for you...

 

Cheers, Kai
