Can't get traffic through port 8080

I think Jacob wants to not include port 8080 on what's presented to clients. So the VIP should be defined on port 80 and the pool member(s) on port 8080.

 

 

If the monitor is marking the pool member down, then I'd look at the monitor configuration. I wouldn't suggest using a default HTTP monitor as it doesn't use a receive string. So any response from the server would be considered a success. Also, the send string is an HTTP 0.9 request--which many web servers won't handle.

 

 

Can you try setting a send string of:

 

 

GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: \r\nConnection: close

 

 

and a receive string of "HTTP" to start with?
