Tracking Clients that pound a virtual

We have to keep track of client ip's that send high number of hits to a virtual.

 

When a client exceeds a certain threshold value, we'll direct the client to a diff pool. Can you help me to write an iRule that can do this ?

 

 

What are the performance implications of it ? If this irule is set up, at how many requests will we see a decrease in loadbalancer performance ?

    There is actually a rule written for this already in the codeshare. If you take a look here: Click here you'll see that a submission has been made and an updated version has been added given a few tweaks a user made for their needs.

     

     

    Since you don't want to reject users that exceed the threshold, you'd simply change the reject line to the desired redirect and you'd be all set.

     

     

    HTH,
