Hi Eriks,

 

 

I haven't tested this, but I would guess that you could configure both virtual server IPs on the loopback and the server would respond back with the IP it received the connection for. If that doesn't work, can you reply back? Or if it does work can you confirm here?

 

 

You should be in the region of performance for the 3600 if you use a stateless virtual server for this. It might be a little tight though. I would definitely try to do perf testing of the configuration before putting it under that full load in production.

 

 

Thanks, Aaron
