I always have trouble remembering the order of the 'elseif' statements. Maybe I should just draw a flowchart for this iRule to help me visualize it better.

That's correct! The request contains '/URI1/', so it will match the first 'elseif' statement and select Pool1.

Haha, I bet the exam writer thought they were really tricky with that question. But it's actually pretty straightforward if you know your iRules.

I think the key to this question is understanding how iRules work. The iRule is checking the URI, not the entire URL, so the query parameters don't matter.
