Irule to LB traffic based on least connections

What criteria would you want to use in an iRule to break up the AOL users?

 

 

If the major issue is that when you treat anyone coming from AOL subnets as a single client the web servers get overwhelmed, you could try disabling the mapping of AOL clients on the LTM's. Assuming you use cookie-based persistence on the LTM's, you would get an even dispersement of requests at the server level. Of course, you'd still potentially run into issues with one datacenter receiving all of the AOL requests. But I don't really see a way around this if you need to treat all AOL users as one for persistence at the datacenter (GTM) level.
