Priority Failover

I have a requirement to direct traffic to a single node in a pool of two. Initially, traffic will always go to node A. If Node A fails, then traffic will go to Node B. When Node A comes back online though, the user does *not* want traffic to go to it. Traffic should continue to go to Node B unless Node B fails then the traffic will be directed to Node A.

 

 

How can I use the priority failover in an Irule to handle this ?

 

 

Thanks in Advance

    I am not sure if I understand how this rule works:

     

     

    rule PriorityFailover {

     

    { when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { persist uie 1 }}

     

    }

     

     

    Question:

     

     

    Do you create a VS and apply the rule with a default pool containing node A and Node B ?
