I went through the comments and feedback provided by the members but still trying to find out a way I can achieve my end goal.

 

I understand why my iRule is not getting applied after our discussion last week. This being a Performance(Layer 4) VIP, and HTTP working at Layer 7 is causing the mistmatch.

 

The other option I see that is to use Performance(HTTP) kind of Virtual server. But, can I use Port translation here? Essentially, my VIP is listening on port 443 and then the servers in the pool are listening on port 7800. Should this be a problem?

 

If not, in case the Performance(HTTP) is used I believe the iRule I am trying should work.

 

Any comments?
