This looks like exactly what we requested F5 professional services about 8 months ago to make for us. They wanted more then that business unit was willing to spend for the irule to be made, so it never was processed. Is this working out for you so far? Looks like a sound irule. Pinging the app team to see if they want to give it a try in QA and throw a load test at it to see how it does. Thanks for sharing! I'll check out the rateclass modification, if it pans out I'll share if I make that change here.
