Well here's the situation. We would like to add a service that handles some of the functionality on the website. Currently that functionality is builtin to the site and calls go direct to a database. We would like to change that to a webservice. But we don't have the infrastructure to put the webservices in a different vlan or subnet behind a different protection layer. So as a half way since the webservice is already built. Until the infrastructure is in place I want to put the webservice on the same servers as the website but still be able to load balance them through the F5.

 

 

The webservice can be different IP and different port from the website if need be.

 

 

What's a SNAT automap? Is there online document on it?

 

 

Many thanks for your help
