The wiki page for the persist command states that 'persist none' disables persistence for the rest of the TCP connection. So if you use the rule as it is, if a client makes a request for /app2, I think any subsequent request on the same connection would not get a persistence cookie. You could test this by adding logging to the iRule and using netcat (assuming it's an HTTP VIP) to open a TCP connection and then send a request for /app2 and then one for /app1. See if you get a persistence cookie in the response to /app1.

 

 

Here is an example from the LTM command line using netcat (nc):

 

 

$ nc 1.1.1.1 80

 

GET /app2 HTTP/1.0

 

Connection: keep-alive

 

 

 

GET /app1 HTTP/1.0

 

 

 

If it's working, in the response to the /app1 request you'll see a Set-Cookie header with the LTM persistence cookie.
