Passing a variable through an iRule

How can I pass the $domain variable to the portion when CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT is running? Most of my work is being done during CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT but I would like to import the HTTP::host value. ...

Well, using 

::
denotes a global variable, which you wouldn't want because it's not specific to your current request/session.

On a broader note, if you take a look at this page, part way down where the flowchart is, you can see that the 

CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT
event happens before the 
HTTP_REQUEST
event, so you won't be able to get the hostname prior to that event.

You might check out TLS Server Name Indication if you really want the domain in that section. Haven't played with it, but it might be worth a look.
