Jan 26, 2010So the client is a server in your network. That Apache "client" opens a connection to the VIP and is load balanced to an external host. Does that sound about right?
Who is doing a reverse lookup of the IP address to try to resolve it to a hostname? LTM doesn't need to a FQDN in the HTTP host header for load balancing. By default LTM would just translate the destination address on the TCP packets to the selected pool member and send the HTTP headers on unmodified.
Is the device that needs to resolve an IP address inspecting the source or destination IP address on the packets or the HTTP host header value? Can you clarify what you've configured so far and what isn't working?
Thanks,
