Does LB:status work with event CLIENT:ACCEPTED?

Can't see a reason LB:STATUS is returning 'down'. Does it not work with even CLIENT_ACCEPTED perhaps? I am an iRule newbie to-the-max so if something obvious here I have missed, be kind ;-)

 

TIA.

 

+++ Here is the rule snippet:

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

if {![class match [IP::client_addr] equals ifb_exceed_qa_g1]} {

 

if { [LB::status pool ifb_ap_exceed_g1_QA_pool member 10.110.2.83 9082] eq "down" } {

 

log local0. "10.110.2.83 down - dropping"

 

log local0. [LB::status pool ifb_ap_exceed_g1_QA_pool member 10.110.2.83 9082]

 

drop

 

} else {

 

log local0. "10.110.2.83 selected"

 

pool ifb_ap_exceed_g1_QA_pool

 

}

 

}

 

 

+++ Pool is up
