Well, the jest of it is, and not only for this application that when addresses are coming from a NATed network or proxy, they all come across from the same address, so source address affinity is not practical. But, if I could find a universal persistence irule that could build a persistence record to include not only IP address, but the remote IP port, I would have something unique to persist on.

 

 

If you have something like this, or soemthing close that I could work with, It would be incredibly appreciated.

 

 

Also, since you seem to be pretty informed when it comes to Irules, is there a good publication or site that documents all of the fields available to build your Irules on.

 

 

Thanks again!!!
