So what did you actually end up using in RULE_INIT?

 

 

To be honest, I don't know what the exact issue with clock was in pre-9.2 so I can't give any suggestions on that. Here is a post which references the issue ([URL]http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&tpage=1&view=topic&postid=2444824471[/URL]).

 

 

As far as the request_id, if you're just trying to track a request was made at a specific time to a host and then count how many requests to a specific host have been made since the window started, how about starting with an ID of 0 and incrementing from there? Reset the counter at whatever the largest possible number for TCL is minus one. This assumes that the counter will never lap itself during your window. You may want to keep a counter per host.
