active standby members within a pool???
I would like to have the following layout.
server1=active
server2=backup for server1
server3=active
server4=backup for server3
server5=active
server6j=backup for server5
is this posible via any configuration options or is it necessary to make an irule?
I know about priority groups but it doesn't seem like it would work the way I need it to.
- nitassEmployeecan you try to create reverse health monitor to specific server and assign it to the backup server? for example, creating reverse monitor to server1 and assigning to server2.
- giltjrNimbostratusYou would need to do this via an iRule. Since all members of a pool are looked at for load balancing. Even with a reverse monitor, if 1 goes down new connections could be sent to 2, 3 or 5.

- nitassEmployeefor irule, i think you may create 2 pools; one (e.g. pool1) contains server1, server3 and server5 without health monitor but the other one (e.g. pool2) has.
