Each iControl request performs a completely separate HTTPS connection to the LTM. So, you should have 1 Auth request per iControl request.

 

 

In looking at your code, I'm wondering why you are taking the list returned from LocalLBPool.get_list() and individually taking each element and building a 1-element list and making separate calls for each pool.

 

 

I'd recommend just taking the value returned in the pools variable and passing that directly into the poolMember.get_object_status() call. That will make your code only 2 iControl calls instead of (1 + num_of_pools).

 

 

BTW, this is exactly why we moved from scalar methods to array based in v9.

 

 

Hope that helps...
