NimbostratusForwarding to virtual server on another LTM controller
My organization is preparing to run a test and target campaign, where they want to route a small subset of traffic to a new version of the application seamlessly. This works fine if both the old and...

NoctilucentIs the traffic in question HTTP? If so, this can be done via an HTTP redirect.
If not, then your approach of sending to site B's virtual server via site A's LTM should work. You'll need to ensure you perform the appropriate SNAT on site A's LTM so the return traffic will come back through LTM A. You'll also need to ensure the routing and access control within the network is setup to allow the communications from LTM A's SNAT address to the virtual server on LTM B.

NimbostratusThe traffic in question is all HTTP. A redirect would be simple, but the business partners want the ability to turn off experience B and have the clients all return to A on demand. I was hoping to be able to do that from a single place. The SNAT might be my problem. I suppose the source address is being sent to controller B as the original client still. I need to override that with a SNAT address from controller A, so controller B sends the reply back there. In fact, that's exactly what the tcpdump output shows now that I know to look for it. Thanks.
