Message-based load balancing problem

Thanks, Nat! You made my day. Moving pool command to CLIENT_DATA is the right solution. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this on the documents I've read so far and F5 support didn't even want to look at the simple irules I wrote.

 

 

Thank you Michael too. I think what you said is a general principle to use TCP::collect. For MBLB, one may have to call TCP::collect in CLIENT_DATA to extract single messages.
