Hi Jay,1. You can specify priority group by adding 4 members in a pool.2. You can use iRule:when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
	if { [active_members Pool1] == 0 } {
		pool Pool2
	}
}https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigip-14-1-0/big-ip-local-traffic-management-basics-14-1-0/about-pools.htmlhttps://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/active_members.html
