CirrusIn client accepted I'm not sure how you would have a value for [LB::server pool] as no load balancing decision has been made yet. I've always been under the impression LB_SELECTED has to fire before any LB variables will be populated.
- Brad_ParkerIt makes sense in your logging that it would be populated after you issue the pool command.
- Brad_ParkerMissed the key part of why it should be working as Kai says, "If no server was selected yet or all servers are down, returns default pool name." What version are you running?

Yep, its should normaly work like the OP has implemented the code, but it doesnt. Even SOL9800 is recommending an alike iRule for non-OneConnect Virtuals. So [LB::server pool] dont require a LB decision, but [LB::server addr] does... Cheers, Kai 
CHofmann_213970Thanks for the suggestion. I have edited the code to incorporate your assumptions (see edited post). The behavior remains similar to the original code.- CHofmann_213970On another note: I am a bit buffled that this answer has been marked as solution. It is not a solution to the problem. In fact it seems to contain false assumptions. Marking this as solution is not helpful. Not for me, nor the community, nor this forum.
