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...

Could the web service be made to respond to a DNS query with the information needed? If so we could use the RESOLV::lookup command to fire off a request and then you could act on the response.

 

 

Just a thought. :)
