Hi dubdub,

 

 

You should be able to locate the source_addr timeout by using the "persist lookup" command (http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.persist.ashx), but I do not believe that you are going to be able to trigger an iRule based action because the persistence table just drops the record when the timeout is reached and you would need an iRule event to be called in order to process your cookie removal.

 

 

You might be able to do something like this with a script on the BIG-IP, but I do not think you can do it with an iRule.
