Multiple irules that have same events

irule 1

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set a1 (has value from first datagroup)

 

if (a1!="") {

 

pool b1

 

}

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if (a1!="") { Do something}

 

}

 

 

 

irule 2

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set a1 (gets value from second datagroup)

 

set a2 "a1"

 

if (a2!="") {

 

pool b1

 

}

 

}

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if (a2!="") { Do something}

 

 

what will happen here for the first irule.. will it still go to HTTP_REQUEST and HTTP_RESPONSE in second irule? and will the value of a1 persist across all request or even for the next new request?
