Hi Aaron, thanks for the response.

 

 

One of the sites is abc.pl and one is abc.com.pl

 

 

The problem I have is that the two websites are currently being used by clients with a self certificate.

 

If I create a new virtual server I obviously either need to change the port, which I can't as the requests are being received on 443, or the IP address, and again the sites are already live and requests are translated to the relevant local IP address (virtual server). The only way I see around this is by changing the internet DNS to resolve to a different internet IP address and redirecting this address to a new virtual server.

 

 

The one thing I'm failing to undestand as a noob LTM installer is surely it's not an uncommon situation to have multiple HTTPS websites on a web server behind an F5? I'm guessing people in these situations are either allocating lots of internet IP addresses out or are using irules. If so sounds like irules are the way forward.

 

 

Thanks
