Hi Joe,

instead of using variables to deactivate certain script blocks, you could disable further iRule processing by using 

[event disable all]
followed by an 
return
to stop the current iRule. To reenable the events again you have to either 
TCP::close
the connection or configure an LTM Policy which reenables the iRule processing on each subsequent HTTP request.

LTM Policy Condition:

  • Every request

LTM Policy Action:

  • Target: TCL
  • Event: request
  • Action: set-variable
  • Name: dummy_var
  • Expression: [event enable all]

Cheers, Kai
