NimbostratusiRule required to persist client connections that get proxied from a single client.
Hi DevCentral,
I have an interesting scenario that I'm hoping someone has encountered before.
Basically I have one HTTPS VIP that serves both internal and external connections.
I am using source address persistence and this works fine for users connecting externally by way of a PC browser.
However, I have 300 BlackBerry users connecting to the same VIP using a custom built app. The only difference here is that all user connections are proxied by a BES server and consequently all connections go to one pool member because of source address persistence.
Question? How do I achieve load-balancing and persist client connections?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nathan

Have you tried using cookie persistence?

Nathan_Andrews_I will give that a try Cory, thanks.- Nathan_Andrews_Hi DevCentral Guru's, I've just decrypted the SSL data from both BlackBerry and PC client to find a common attribute to enable persistence for. So all I require is a simple iRule to persist on ASPSESSIONID Anyone out there have a simple iRule that they wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks, Nathan
