Add multiple FQDNs for client access SharePoint 2010 with LTM

Hi,

Do you mean FQDN on the client side ? If yes, that means you have several IP addresses on client side (Several Virtual Servers). So you have to run the template several times.

One template run per Virtual Server (VIP).

Hi,

As Matthieu says , one template per VS.

But If you use https , you could also try use some feature related to ssl such as SAN certificates (allowing multiple alternative names for the same ) or SNI for client who support TLS.

I'm not following. I followed the deployment guide from F5, and it's on this step in creating the iapp template vm: 8. HTTP version Unless the majority of your users are using HTTP 1.0 (not common), we recommend selecting Version 1.1 from the list. • FQDN: When you select Version 1.1, a new row appears asking for the FQDN the clients use to access SharePoint. Type it here. I have multiple web apps on SharePoint, but they sit on the same 2 web servers. So this is where I am wondering if I can additional FQDNs.

Are you talking about the stock SharePoint 2010 iApp template that comes with 11.3 and below, and is referencing health monitoring?

First things first, that HTTP/1.1 question relates to a simple monitoring configuration, and specifically what Host name the HTTP monitor sends to SharePoint in its request, because SharePoint cares about that sort of thing. The monitor only checks with a single host name and there's no facility to add or switch between host names in the iApp. You'd likely need an external monitor script to do such a thing, if you really need to.

As for a client request, the LTM VIP shouldn't get in the way of what the client sends, so assuming you have multiple host names that resolve to the same VIP, a SharePoint server that serves all of these applications, and a client makes a request for a specific host name, that same host name will arrive untouched at the SharePoint front end.
