MVPHi crawworth,
you could achieve the same with priority group activiation. See Manual Chapter : About Pools
Here is an example. The pool members with the higher priority (5) will be used first. If less than four are available, the second priority group members will be used too.

Except doesn't want to use the higher priority servers when there are 3 or less.
F5 send the traffic to the lower priority (that is ok) but he uses the nodes with high priority available in the balancing too, is there any way to stop that?.
MVPOh... I had to read that a couple of times more to understand that 🙂
In that case you could create individual monitors for each pool member. Assign each poolmember of prio group 1 five individual monitors (for itself and the four other prio 1 server) and have an up requirement of 4.
If only 3 poolmembers of prio 1 are online, this will mark all 5 as down.
Makes sense? Or a picture will explain more than 1000 words?
However, the above described solution doesn't scale. The iRule solution is far better in this case.
AltostratusThanks Jim and Daniel.
Daniel, i'm going to check that solution thank you very much.
