Irule query

Suppose there is a public hosted server . and there are different categories of users like laptop users, desktop users,mac users,andriod users. And in a pool there are 3 pool members. How will round robin algorithm work in it? and will there be any role of irule in it?

    by default if using round robin the f5 will just load balance to all three pool members regardless of the user agent connecting in. If you want to to load balance mac users to a specific web servers then you can create a pool for mac users that contains the web servers where you want to send the mac users. Attach an irule that will look for the Safari browser(user agent) and send to your configured mac user web server pool
