Hi James,

another option would be to create a HTTP-based Virtual Server for each of your traffic-groups and then assign the iRule below...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::respond 200 content [info hostname] Content-Type text/html
}

A simple unauthenticated HTTP request towards the Virtual Server will tell you then on which cluster unit the traffic group is running on.

Cheers, Kai
