Thank you for the answer about the possibility of using an iRule. I had not heard of iRulesLX so I will look into that. Is there any estimate on when iRulesLX will be released?

 

If we ignore the iRule rewrite portion for the moment, can you please answer how I would go about implementing just the simple TCP proxy portion?

    Your account manager should be able to assist you with questions about iRulesLX availabililty. A TCP virtual server is a TCP proxy. All you would need to do is set up a virtual server, put the mysql server in a pool, and point your client towards the virtual. In the event that the client can't be altered, you could configure the virtual with the same IP address as the mysql server, and configure your network to make sure the packet is delivered (routed) to the server via the BigIP.
