Hi,

 

Pool assignment is connection based.

 

If you change the default pool defined in the virtual server in an irule, the new pool will be assigned for next request within the same connection until a new pool is assigned by the irule or policy

 

You can change this behavior with 2 solutions:

 

  • enable one connect profile
  • define a default rule in policy or a else statement in irule
