Gang,
I've received a request from our Application folks to drop a connection between a client machine and a database server every day at midnight (or some other wee-morning-hour time)....

Cirrostratusnaladar, you can definitely check the current time from an iRule. But short of collecting the payload for every TCP connection to the VIP, I don't think you can kill an existing TCP connection from hour X through hour Y. You could potentially use discard or TCP::close to close new connections attempted during the time window, but I don't think that was the original poster's scenario.
