LB::persist
       Forces the system to make a persistence decision.

SYNOPSIS
       LB::persist ((key) |
			    (cookie POOL_OBJ IP_ADDR PORT))?

DESCRIPTION
       This command forces the system to make a persistence decision, and
       returns a string that can be evaluated to activate that selection, or
       with the use of the parameter, returns a persistence key that may be
       used in conjunction with the persist command to manipulate the
       persistence table.

       This enables an iRule to evaluate the pending load
       balancing/persistence decision early, and use that information to
       manage the connection.
