Hi Mark. The pool name in both data center is same, so the default persistence cookie name is same in both data centers. Correct, that is my main issue: How do I do redirect before load balancing decision is made?

Are you trying to route the across an inter data center connection? I don't think a "redirect" is what you want. I actually have a solution that routes persistence across an inter dc connection if that's what you're looking to do. I don't want to hijack this thread for your question though. If you want to re-post the question in its own question I can share the solution we are using. I'm actually going to be presenting it at our next F5 user group meeting.
