Active - Passive Nodes

I would like to do an active - passive config with two servers here.

 

 

I was under the impression that I could just do a roundrobin priority-1 priority-2 type of thing and the priority-2 server would never get hit as long as priority-1 server was up.

 

 

I was wrong and the priority-2 server is getting traffic also.

 

 

Does anyone know of a better way to do this? Do I have to use an irule?

 

 

Keep in mind that I am using 4.5.12

 

 

Can I use a fallback host to do this?

    The 9.x solution is here:

     

    Single Node Persistence - Click here

     

    don't think there was a persist command in 4.x to construct the equivalent for 4.x, but you might try posting that question over in the iRules v4.x forum (Click here)

    I think that I have found an answer Click here for 4.5.14

     

    I have not tried this as yet but I will, and report back here.
