I'm trying to work out what's happening here.

 

  • You have devices out in the field configured with 2 Syslog IP's(Presuming for redundancy?) these are both VIP's that sit on the same F5 Pair?
  • You have two VIP's on the F5, separate IP's, each configured on port 514
  • Behind the VIP's you have a pool which includes your syslog collectors ?

Because your Client devices are sending 2 Syslog instances you're wanting the F5 to include some intelligence to drop one of the requests?

 

Can you not just have one IP configured in the first place, as its the same infrastructure its configured on?

 

Apologies if I've got the wrong message.
