NimbostratusDifficult session persistence scenario
Need help choosing the right persistence method for the following situation. We have two webservers with two IP addresses each. All 4 IP's listen on TCP 443, as there are two different web services applications hosted on each webserver, as shown below:
Webserver 1 IP-Addr-1 Port 443 AppA IP-Addr-2 Port 443 AppB
Webserver 2 IP-Addr-1 Port 443 AppA IP-Addr-2 Port 443 AppB
F5 VIP 1 Webserver1 IPAddr1 Port 443 AppA Webserver2 IPAddr1 Port 443 AppA
F5 VIP 2 Webserver1 IPAddr2 Port 443 AppB Webserver2 IPAddr2 Port 443 AppB
Need to figure out the best way to keep the same client IP, as it goes to access both Application A and Application B, on the same Webserver despite being accessed through different VIPs.
Webserver 1 and 2 do not share their internal session information with the opposite server; if a client first accesses Application A through Webserver 1, but later accesses Application B through Webserver 2, this will cause the application experience to break.

Stefan,
Looks like the "Match Across" configuration should work. See Match Across options for session persistence. In your case perhaps "Match Across Virtual Servers"
Hope this helps,
