Hi Aaron,

 

 

That's OK, sorry I should probably be trying to figure this out more myself but having the time to learn is proving difficult at the moment.Pretty much, we've allocated a specific address for the virtual server, 10.128.x.x:8080. The Pool contains two bluecoat proxies, we are using SNAT as the bluecoats reside on different vlans to the F5 so don't have a route back to the clients via the F5. For users the load balancing via both proxies is working really well.

 

 

The requirement is to send traffic from a group of servers to a specific https site always via the same bluecoat unless a problem occurs. The servers specify the proxy address (virtual server) within a file. My plan was to create a dedicated virtual server specifically for this particular application (different to the users virtual server) traffic so I can apply whatever settings I need to.

 

 

Thanks

 

Darren
