    Hi JRahm,   Thanks.  I did also post over there.  Headed over there to see if there was any response.

    I posted in this area  https://github.com/joel74/POSH-LTM-Rest/issues  not sure if that was the right one but it seemed to have the most activity.

    thanks

    Lance

      Did you try the passthru switch Joel mentioned in the issue I shared? Seems to be the same scenario you mentioned, but posh is not my jam so I'm just throwing ideas out.

        Yeah,  I am able to get it to work for 1 session but I am not sure how to do 2 sessions since we have 2 F5s that we have to change iRules on.     It seems like the  New-F5Session is part of the scripts attributes and so the calls to Add-iRuleToVirtualServer assumes the "current F5 session" that is open so passthru might be the default.   Joel may know of an alternative so I will have to wait and see.

        I can always create another script that handles iRules for the other F5 but it involves a little more work and 2 separate scripts and commands to be created and executed.
