DSR with LTM
Hello,
I have some questions regarding how effectively DSR mode load balancing works with LTM
Do I need to configure persistance or sticky to make DSR work? In some other vendor load...

And this is possible with DSR correct?yes
Well if you just configure the health monitor to the servers ethernet IP instead of loopback and using DSR, it can very well happen that the LB thinks the server to be up (and will forward traffic to it) but the server will not be able to respond to the client request. In that case we shall see traffic black holing. That's why I am asking if it is possible to do the health check using the servers loopback address.sorry to not explain well. i mean sending health monitor to ethernet ip but check (somehow) whether application works. it is similar to http health monitor which does GET and verify response before marking server up or down.
