My recommendation to use Local Traffic Policies

Thank You

Please provide insight as to why using local traffic policies is a better solution that iRules? I have 150 subnets I need to create rules for.

I need to add additional subnets to my iRule. Do I just copy and paste multiple instances of the rule I posted earlier. So just a repeat of lines 1-5 for each subnet or is there a better way? All subnets will be sent to the same pool and default_Pool.

May be use data group list?
