NimbostratusAlso, another question....
the i rule associated here with the virtual server is for incoming traffic from the client,...right? .......Not for the outbound traffic for Inet..initiated from the server..right?
The server has upstream router as its default GWY.. this being the case ...please clarify....
if the server were to initiate traffic for say, www.yahoo.com, its source address would be NATd/changed by bigip, as per the iRule..and then the packet would travel to outbound with a public src-ip from the snatpool smtpsnat...?
Is this correct?
But in the below config
pool reversenpath_20 ---> has member as upstream router IP. Which means, if bigip is seeing incoming traffic, is it load balancing to upstream router? if so, why would it do so?
snatpool smtpsnat --> snat is used only to change the src-ip of inbound client traffic. Here, is the snat is being used to change the src-ip of traffic initiated from the server that is internet bound?
