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.

RETURN VALUE
