Guidelines for pointing to one web server with many Virtual Sites

Software virtual servers? As in multiplexed by name? If so, it's one VS...

 

 

If your VS's are differentiated by IP or port, I'd use multiple VS's myself... Until at some point it gets onerous with too many VS's (And your threshold will vary here) and replace it with one VS again that uses either port 0 or a network VS for multiple IP's and use an iRule to dispatch to the correct pool.

 

 

Or did you mean a single physical web server and it's running multiple copies of apache on different IP's or ports... In which case I'd go with option 2 above again...

 

 

Sorry to be unclear, but the question was a bit wide open as to what you mean by 'virtual sites'.
