if I was going to use a list that would just match against host headers would I just use a class ? is that something I do in the irule itself or done in tmos ? confused when it comes to some of the examples

Thanks

it is configured separately from the iRule. in the configuration utility, navigate to Local Traffic | iRules | Data Group List

You would create the data group from the CLI (per @shaggy example), or through the F5 management GUI. Then you would utilize the data group within an iRule. If you want easy to manage iRule and Data Group management, I'd highly recommend downloading the iRule Editor (https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/iRule-Editor-Download). It makes it so much easier.
