There are some limitations for using iRule with header insert command and performance HTTP VIP

 

"The HTTP Header Insert field of the Fast HTTP profile only supports insertion of a static text HTTP header. The Fast HTTP profile will not perform iRule variable expansion for the HTTP Header Insert field; this is considered an unnecessary performance hit for the Fast HTTP profile."
