Firstly, what version of BigIP are you using? I'd use v10 syntax myself with the class command rather than the $::SPOE_IPS syntax (Because that's deprecated). At some stage, it'll stop working... Might as well use the new syntax since it's there.

 

 

 

Now, as to why you only ever hit the first pool and never the second, are you aware that in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event, IP::local_addr is going to be the IP address of the VS... And thus will never change... So if the local IP is in SPOE_IPS you're never going to hit pool_BC_proxies anyway... (See http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.IP__local_addr.ashx)
