Jun 14, 2006Pools and Persistence
I'm having a persistence issue with an iRule I am testing on a site that will be partially inaccessible on holidays. The code below is part of an experiment to find the syntax that will make this work...

Doesn't the "pool" command load balance the request to that pool immediately?
I was under the impression that the "pool" command had to come after all the relevant conditions had been considered because it will do just that, thus inserting it at the top of the REQUEST event would effectively bypass any later conditional pool selection.
Wiki definition of pool command says in part: "Causes the system to load balance traffic to the specified pool." (it also says must be conditional, which isn't exactly true... but maybe it means what I'm so eloquently trying to spit out above?)
I guess my real question is, is the request actually released to the selected pool at the end of a specific event, rather than with the use of the "pool" command as I've assumed all along?
thanks for making us smarter!
