Vip target VIP

All,     I have a scenario where I want to LB "pods" of servers using a Master VIP. I could have many nodes in each pool and do not want to disable each individual node when we take a "pod"...

It's worth mentioning that the [LB::server pool] command does NOT return the configured default pool. It returns the last selected pool, which means this code:

 

} else {    
     if original pool is down, use the default pool..    
     User will lose session, but will get page.    
    HTTP::cookie remove "pod"    
    pool [LB::server pool]
will still return the previously selected pool (not the default) if it is a subsequent request on a keepalive connection. It would be better to specify the pool name for cases like this.
