How do I implement the NetScaler GSLB feature called connection proxy on a BIG-IP?

Hi;

 

For site persistence, Citrix NetScaler can use a feature called connection proxy. So if the client LDNS changes and the http/https request goes to a different site, that site can forward the connection to the original site's VIP. The site will do this forwarding as it sees a "site cookie" in the http/https request.

 

My question is how do I implement this with BIG-IP in the simplest possible way.

 

Kindly Wasfi

    I don't think something similar is available in 11.x code version. You may want to check this thread.

     

    Assuming you use the same pool name on both LTM, the VS on the LTM can send the traffic to the same Pool and Pool member based on the the cookie inserted by LTM. However, at that point, it would be up to the application to respond appropriately.
