Connection verification to another pool
Pools are named Pool_1 and Pool_2 and exist on the same BigIP pair.
I want to know if an iRule can only allow a connection to Pool_2 if you already have a current connection to Pool_1?
Scenario 1:
A web client establishes a connection to a virtual tied to Pool_1.
From same host, opens up another web client and connects to another virtual tied to Pool_2. In this case, the connection to Pool_2 is successful because the host has already established a connection to Pool_1.
Scenario 2:
A web client tries to establish a connection to a virtual tied to Pool_2. The BigIP determines there is no connection already established with Pool_1 and drops/redirects the connection.
