Except member in the pool for load balance

Question

I would like to know. If in 1 pool there are 4 members. I want to select member 1, except to not work in load balancing.

But can other members perform normal load balancing? iRule can manage? iRule can managed? If yes, please give an example

Thank you for help.

If you have to test something, do not put that member as part of original pool.But rather, create another pool for testing and use datagroup for whitelisting your IP, so that only you can access it.Other should be landing to the original pool where 3 members alone are put.when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals your_DGL] } { 
        pool testing_pool_name
    } else { 
        pool original_pool
    }
}

&nbsp;,&nbsp;If you dont want that particular member to load balance, why do you still need it on the pool. Any reason.Why not delete it or keep it in disabled state.

Why not move the single pool member to a separate pool ? You can also explore priority groups. &nbsp;
