CirrusHelp with adding Syslog collectors
Hello I have a question based on syslog traffic, we currently have a VIP in Stateless mode that is forwarding syslog traffic from our infrastructure devices (servers, switches, routers etc) to syslog collectors that are in a pool. There is a desire to add 2 new destinations (LCP servers) where copies of the syslogs will be sent to, how can this be accomplished. The current pool is set up for load balancing via round robin but we would like the same syslog to be sent to 4 destinations: syslog collector server 1 syslog collector server 2 LCP collector 1 LCP collector 2
Is it as easy as adding the two new servers into the current pool? Please let me know appreciate the support.

I did not understand what is the end goal.
If just add 2 new servers and do round robin, yes, just add the 2 new servers to the pool.If you want to duplicate packets, you can use the clone pool option in the virtual server setup. However, that will only clone once, not 3 times.
If you need 3 times, I guess you need iRules to do that.
Thomson_ThomasThanks Leonardo the intention is to send the same traffic to 4 different destinations/servers

If I used the stateless virtual server type would this accomplish the same thing? From what I have been reading it is used to forward traffic to syslog collectors.
