I gave this a chance since the other option I had was less desirable. I setup the HSL options and pool and then added this iRule. I show logs of the F5 of the rule being successfully applied. That said I'm not seeing anything new coming into the syslog server. I'll poke at it for a little while and see if I can get it to work. As a side note, this site won't be accessed on a huge scale so in-line processing to a remote log server is completely acceptable. If I can get the syntax right would also work.
