Basically yes. There is other logic that it does to see if the site is even has a possibility of a mobile site, that is checked against a data source as its small static data.

 

 

And about 2-3% of the time the iRule mysteriously dies with no errors before the GET is processed. Its not a site specific thing either, if I do 30-50 requests for the same site back to back I will usually see at least one redirection failure.

 

 

Are you logging with the iRule as well? If you can run 50, I'd say log everytime the redirect is or isn't issued and look at your results.
