How to handle data aggregators hitting my site?
I'm looking for a more intelligent way to handle to prevent data aggregators from crushing my site. The way I do this today is with a policy in the LTM section of the BigIP (it's the only license we have) that matches a list of IPs in a datagroup, and redirects them to a dedicated VIP with a backend pool with just 1 server there that the aggregators crush. I want to get rid of this dedicated aggregator server...
Is there a way to specificly limit only the aggregator services from crushing my primary 2 servers without offloading them to and maintaining a dedicated server?
