Hi Patrik, so our load balancer is in an .com domain whereas our server(s) are in an .net domain.

 

WE have been told by Oracle that we need to:

 

For customers that use a load balancer, Oracle recommends using a cookie (session) based load balancer

 

And also:

 

It is required that the load balancer and PeopleSoft WebLogic web servers are in the same domain.

 

We have tried using DSR with an IP monitor and whilst that does now allow traffic to reach the web server this causes issues with the application as we get pagelets that won't load and timeouts on some pages.

 

As soon as we put cookie peristence back on we lose the ability for the F5 to to pass traffic to the web servers.

 

I assume that DSR is causing responses from the server to be directed back to the F5 whereas when we use cookie persistence the server tries to respond via the default gateway?

 

So if we use SNAT inbound we can cause the server respond back to the F5 rather than via the default gateway?

 

Thanks Paul
