Anti-SPAM load balancing

HI All,

 

I am having problem with design on F5 Anti-SPAM load balancing. There are 2 servers both catering port 1813 and 25 i have 2 virtual servers , 1 for 1813 and 1 for smtp

 

Anti-spam Servers are configured to receive Radius AVP (Subscriber MSISDN or Username and Mobile IP) from NPM and GGSN and correlate with SMTP traffic received from DSL and GPRS subscribers respectively. It means that the server that receives Radius AVP should also be the one to receive the SMTP traffic.

 

I want to use destination address persistence but as per client, client address is NATted on NPM and GGSN. is there any other way?

    Is there any data or field in both types of requests that match? If so Univeral Persistence and an iRule to find and persist on that data should work.

    Hello,

     

    Thank you. I will ask the customer regarding this, also, they are asking if we ever GGSN will send Radius AVP to F5 Virtual server, can F5 send this to all the pool members?

     

    Thanks! Ferdz
