Stop Bots using iRule?

Question

We have couple of wordpress servers and would like to get away with creating a robot.txt file for every site we have. Is there a way we could stop bots at the f5 using an irule?

MihirP1129,&nbsp;An irule can do a lot, but this may be a very administrative piece of work. You could create a Data Group with a list of bots you were interested in blocking and then an iRule can reference this group to allow/block. Something like this Controlling Bots&nbsp;Hope this helps,&nbsp;N
