Modify priority of pool members using iRules

Hi all I have an application which has the specific requirements: Two nodes in the pool. Send all requests to only one node during normal operation (hence using priority group activation)...

If the favoured node comes back online in the above example, the application team want the F5 to continue sending all requests to the second node to avoid outages.

is single node persistence usable?

That's a really interesting link and something I was unaware of, so thanks for posting! After reading through the entirety of the article, it seems this may not be suitable for situations requiring prioritisation of nodes within the pool though? This is the requirement we are facing, so we do need some way to cater for this. Are there any options with this in mind?
