iRule using web service for LB decision

Hi,     I want to write an iRule that contacts a web service to find out which back end server to send the connection to. I know this would not be fast but the connections I'm balancing are long...

Yes I had a look at that but unfortunatly the connection I'm trying to balance isn't HTTP so I have no way to trigger the HTTP events of HTTP::retry.
