pool selection based on client ip

ok so i finally figured it all out...my problems where as follows:

 

 

1. the drop wasnt fully dropping, the connection was being passed on to the server, but the client-to-bigip was still being held..

 

 

solution: use TCP::close

 

 

2. data group names with hyphens dont work! i guess it sees it as a subtraction sign or something nonetheless i couldnt get anything to match because the it would reference the whole data group

 

 

solution DONT use datagroup names with hyphens in them

 

 

i think that pretty much does it [moderated]
