Hi John-

 

 

Thank you for your inquiry and for using DevCentral.

 

 

From what I can tell, this is really more of a BIG-IP technical support question. The DevCentral forum is designed to deal directly with iControl development questions.

 

 

The best channel for resolving non-iControl issues quickly and comprehensively is F5 Technical Support. You can email them at: support@f5.com.

 

 

I hope that you will consider iControl for your future projects and we will be glad to help any way we can.

 

 

Regards,

 

- Jeff
