I've created a "dg_all_pools" of address-type in which I have all the addresses and their corresponding "strPodNumber. So, essentially, 1.1.1.1:2A1, etc. I'm a bit fuzzy on my syntax now...I know I need to set strPodNumber to the corresponding value corresponding to the address. So, I need to compare IP::server_addr to the datagroup and use the class command to set strPodNumber to the corresponding value...can you help point me in the right direction?
