iRules / iControl to Monitor Nodes

Does each virtual site have its own IP or something? Trying to understand why that doesn't equate to only 5 nodes and a whole lotta pool members.

 

 

Regardless, it seems like you should be able to accomplish what you need with a carefully crafted monitor, without the need for iRules or iControl. Have you experimented with this? Point it to a specific IP, apply that monitor to multiple nodes, and turn off monitoring by ICMP for each virtual address. Just a thought... doubt you want to modify 3400 nodes individually, if those are in fact nodes and not just pool members, but hopefully it'll help move the thought process. heh
