oh, sorry, they are still called classes in the config, but I keep forgetting they are now called "Data Group Lists" in the GUI and doc.

 

 

You can just browse in the GUI to Local Traffic/iRules, click on the Data Group List tab, and create a new list of type "String". Add your list, one row at a time, with a space separating the host/uri and the redirect (GUI will add the double quotes for you).

 

 

Class lists are stored in the bigip.conf file, and are loaded into memory with the rest of the config. We have customers using very large class lists with simple iRules such as this with minimal performance impact.
