NimbostratusI have a similar need for both POP3 and IMAP. At high level the logic is the same.
I think the best way to handle the flow once the traffic is mapped to the proper pool is to return an "authentication failed" which should start the process all over but this time involving the the back end server.
An entry in the session table would also be required and a check to see if the session already exists needs to be done so it wouldn't loop infinitely
Given F5 does not have any support from an iRule perspective for IMAP and POP3, I suspect this project would involve a lot of byte scans and string manipulations.
