IP::server_addr isn't a valid command in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event as there isn't a server side connection established yet. You should see a TCL error in the /var/log/ltm log file.

 

 

You might be looking for IP::local_addr which will return the destination IP of the client's packet.

 

 

Also, what do you want to happen if 192.168.253.1 made a request to 192.168.254.1? With your current rule, it would be sent to the CSG_OUT pool.

 

 

For your reference, check this post for details on the IP:: command output in various events: (Click here)
