Stuck...Simple iRule? Not sure...req for Help

Why not just have both servers use the same AE title? Then you could just distribute traffic to both of them and there would be no need to create this iRule?

 

 

FYI - That is how we do it in our environments. All Dicom servers are configured with their own AE, as well as a universal AE. All of the modalities are configured to use the universal AE. All Dicom servers are placed in a pool and then traffic is distributed across all of them.

 

 

Further, we have an alternate server/pool to be used during scheduled downtimes/maintenance windows. Rather than enforcing a downtime policy and instructing all the users to send to the "downtime" server, we just switch the active pool. As far as the users know, everything is exactly the same.
