iRule not applied immediately

Another option would be to leave the request limit unset and only update the iRule during low traffic periods or a maintenance window. You could then use 'b conn' to clear the connections for the particular VIP to force all clients to re-establish a connection to the VIP and use the new version of the iRule. The downside to this is that you'd drop the connections, but the benefit is that you wouldn't need to restrict the re-use of connections from the proxy or other clients.
