It's more than you are asking for in this case, but I just wanted to mention a new addition to the maintenance contributions on the code share. I haven't fleshed out the details in the wiki page yet (my wiki skills need some serious help), but Kirk Bauer wrote a perl script to grab your (understood, not you specifically) working sorry page and generate the iRules/classes necessary to replace that functionally on the LTM. If you run the script locally on the LTM, it'll even deploy for you. Cool stuff. :-)
