How to manage idle-timeouts on DMZ servers.

Hi,

 

I have a mysql server running on DMZ f5 VLAN. The Dev's connect to it using the DMZ ip address, no virtual server is configured for the server.

 

Several MySQL tools get a idle-timeout on long running queries as the timeout takes effect on 5min ( 300sec ), Is there a way that I can control idle-timeout for this specific server ? Or maybe on the mysql port ?

 

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    you can create a specific virtual for that server:port combination (or a wildcard ip:port combo) and then apply a custom fastL4 or tcp profile that has a longer timeout.

    i think you're better off managing the idle timeout in a custom fastL4 or tcp profile attached to the virtual (client & serverside), but an iRule approach will work as well. In this particular case, if the virtual is bound only to port 3306, the switch is not necessary.
