Sorry if this sounds outrageous, but ...

Is it possible to create an iRule to send the request to ALL members in a particular pool when an HTTP request is received from a client? When the response to the client is sent doesn't matter - may be after all the responses are received or after the first response is received.

 

 

Thanks

    It's possible in 9.2. Quite crazy, but you can use the new HTTP::retry command to iterate through all the members and tally all the responses...

    It's worth mentioning that the sending the request would not occur in parallel, but rather serially. That is, first BIG-IP would send the request, receive a response, then reissue the request, etc. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do, but you might look into the clone pool feature.

    The clone pool feature would pick only one member in the clone pool right and I can have only one clone pool, correct? I can't send the request to all the members (more than 2) with this feature, isn't that right?
