Hi GScholz,

add this line somewhere to your iRule...

if 0 { pool AllMYHighAvailableDefaultGWs }

The 

if 0 {pool selection}
will never become executed. Its basically a multi-line TCL comment which gets ignored by the TCL compiler. But the syntax is sufficient enough to mark your VS as green as long as the default pool 
OR
the dummy pool is active...
