Hi Swjo,

 

you don't need an iRule to create an Primary/Secondary pool member setup. Just use the Priority Group Activation feature in combination with the OneConnect feature (a Layer7 Virtual Server with HTTP profile is required).

 

OneConnect will force a LB decission on each single Web request and will then forward the individual request based on the current Priority Activation Group availability.
