Hi Jen,

 

 

In addition to Jason's info...

 

 

The reason it makes sense to do IP and port checks in CLIENT_ACCEPTED is that that clientside info can't change over the course of a TCP connection. If you're inspecting layer 7 content it makes sense to do it on each HTTP request as it could change on each request. If you want specific feedback on some of your more important or heavily used iRules, feel free to post an anonymized copy of them. We can give you some tips that you might be able to apply to the rest of your rules.
