Agreed. I know you guys are busy and appreciate the time to answer my questions.

As a side note within the iRule, I tried to use...

      default { reject }

as opposed to...

      default { discard }

and got the desired behavior for my circumstance. With the discard in there I could enter in anything I wanted much like you could if you used telnet to get into an smtp server and typed ehlo, etc. (not that I could necessarily have done anything but you never know). With the reject in there as soon as I enter in a keystroke it drops my TCP connection.
