If there's no application logic to handle that then I'm not sure LTM is going to be able to do anything for you there. Can you define a little more what you mean by the Pool 2 session needing to access the Pool 1 session? Are you wanting the server in Pool 2 to initiate a connection to another load-balanced virtual server on the LTM and have it maintain session state? Universal persistence via an iRule may be able to help that connection be sent to the same server as the user's Pool 1 session by doing some sort of cookie comparison, but if the app doesn't already know how to handle that connection then I'm not sure what that's going to do for you.

 

 

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how does this session access function if there is only 1 server in each "Pool" and LTM is not involved (ie no server load balancing).
