At this command level, a specific Real Server may be configured. The following commands are available at this level.

Addrule <Rule-name>

This command adds the rule <Rule-name> to a Real Server. If this is the first assignment of <Rule-name> to a Real Server on the current Virtual Service, the rule will be placed on the precedence list as the lowest user defined rule I.e. checked after all other rules. Use the Virtual Service command Precedence to change the precedence order.

Delrule <Rule-name>

This command removes the association of rule <Rule-name> from the Real Server. If there are no more instances of the rule associated with the Virtual Service, the rule will be deleted from the Virtual Service precedence list.

Virtual Service. If the Real Server is accessed via a different Virtual Service, then this
