Hi Mike,

 

 

IP::addr will work for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, so you should be fine with your existing iRule. I think you can also do this with a custom HTTP profile by setting the Request Header to Insert to:

 

 

[list "x-remote-host [IP::client_addr] x-user-agent [HTTP::header User-Agent]]

 

 

Note I haven't tested this but I think it might work.
