2 types of load balancing Can I do it

Our current configuration is a pair of 6400's running 9.4.5

 

 

we are currently load balacing with an internal and external vlan that are different.

 

 

I need to add another vlan that will be a differnt ip range and I want to load balance it by not changing the network and just having the load balancer for that segment be another machine on the vlan for all intent.

 

 

Can I do this without causing problems for my current configuration ?

 

 

current looks like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

192.168.1.x > lb > 192.168.2.x

 

 

 

new should be something like this I think

 

 

 

192.168.1.x > lb > 192.168.2.x

 

 

and

 

 

192.168.4.x > lb > 192.168.4.x

    Are you asking if you can have a VIP on the same VLAN as your pool members and originating client?

     

     

    I'm guessing your talking about something like the setup below?

     

     

    Client = 192.168.4.250

     

    VIP = 192.168.4.100

     

    Pool member1 = 192.168.4.50

     

    Pool member2 192.168.4.51

     

     

    Client side comm.

     

    Client -> VIP

     

     

    Serverside comm.

     

    SelfIP - > pool members

     

     

     

    If so, that shouldn't cause any problems as long as you have SNAT set.

    Actually the client would be any ip in the world... but the vip and the pool members would be in the same vlan...

     

     

    Thanks for the response I'll have to draw it out so I don't make any mistakes and give it a shot..
