Send transaction to all the members of a pool

Is it possible to send a TCP transaction to all the members of a pool using iRule? I read an older post that for HTTP traffic, this is possible with the HTTP::retry. But, I couldn't find anything like...
application delivery
dev
devops
iRules

Hi,

 

 

i agree with Hoolio, i'm afraid it's not possible through TCP.

 

 

Clone pool uses MAC Addresses of its pool members to send the packet to it. The destination IP address/port for this packet will be the IP address/port of the pool member selected (in the pool configured in the VS/iRule) to receive its transaction so that's why we say it's for IDS because IDS works in promiscious mode and listen for all traffic on its interface.
