having a little trouble persisting through many vips to pool members on a specific host

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Yes I have three pools where each pool member has a corresponding server in the other two pools. The IP addresses and ports are different (when this was originally designed the application took care of this so there wasn't a lot of thought that went into giving the IPs on the same server a unique characteristic that would distinguish ownership by a single server).

 

I think mapping them in a data group sounds exactly like what I'm looking for but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing it.

 

What needs to happen from top to bottom would be to check for a current session and if nothing just load balance to any of the 3 pool members for the requested service. If there is a session it will be tied to a particular pool member that should be mapped to a particular group of pool members that all reside on the same physical server. If the mapping directs the request to a grouping where the pool member is dead the session should be killed and the request can be re-load balanced.

 

I hope that makes sense, I'm not great with iRules but I'm the only one not on vacation this week

 

 

Thanks,

 

Adam
