Hello,

You can't call an external script from an iRule. However, you could configure an EAV for the pool and then use LB::status (Click here), to check if the pool member is marked up:


if {[LB::status pool  member  ] eq "up"}{
    pool member is marked up by monitor(s)
}

If you just want to send requests to a pool member that has been marked up, you wouldn't need a rule--just the EAV monitor and standard load balancing.
