Testing for the pool name

Is it possible to test what pool is assigned to a virtual? Something along the lines of 

if { pool == myPool }
application delivery

    Hi Stephen,

    You can use LB::server to get the name of the VIP's default pool: 

     
  http://devcentral.f5.com/Wiki/default.aspx/iRules/lb__server 
 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
     Save the name of the VIP's default pool 
    set default_pool [LB::server pool] 
 }
