Deployment Guide for Blackboard and BigIP LTM?

Since I had such luck with my first posting, I'll try again. Is there a deployment guide for using Blackboard v7 on IIS6 with F5 LTM? Blackboards "selective" SSL settings are giving me fits. I'm wondering if I'll have to put certs on my webservers (nodes) as well as a cert on the F5 to get https that doesn't loop but gets balanced. Again, any help will be appreciated.

    Hi, We've been load balancing Blackboard with the BigIP for a while now.

     

     

    I've got a small blog that I don't update, but there are links to the PDF file that describes our setup in great detail.

    We have 6 app servers and 2 collab servers.

     

     

    Let me know if you have any questions at all.

    Velhoon, I've got a document that I've been working on. If you are still interested let me know.

     

     

    It involves some iRule stuff and a stream profile to work.
