Hi Tom,

 

 

The best option would be to move the hostname to pool name mappings to a data group. In 9.4.x you could use findclass to look up the requested host header in the data group and return the pool name.

A less ideal option would be to replace the if/elseif/elseif.../else chain with a switch statement. This should save you some characters in the iRule.
