Mar 10, 2009Thank you for the reply. I was hoping to avoid the full blown explanation but think it might paint a clearer picture.
About a year ago we re-branded our company and were using ws.mortgagesa.com as the publicly accessible URL for partner interactions. As the change control process with these partners is always a really really long drawn out affair that takes weeks to conclude, I was hoping to have a way that would allow us to use the same public IP address for both ws.mortgagesa.com and ws.ooba.co.za. I do have two valid publicly signed certificates but am struggling to find a way to make the change in a way that doesn't negatively affect all partners interacting with us at the same time.
I know that the LTM can do SSL termination but for this scenario I was planning on doing the termination on the application server hosting the application. Meaning that I would have two virtual hosts each doing the SSLtermination; one for ws.mortgagesa.com and the other for ws.ooba.co.za and then have one publicly accessible IP address that resolved for both. Then on the LTM with an iRule send traffic to vhost one or vhost two depending on which domain was request.
Hope this points a clearer picture?

Dominique
