Load Balance Host Headers
Thanks for clarifying. I should be clear though, I am using one VS on F5 and a shared IP on IIS to support IP sharing on both devices. My VS looks like this:
ltm virtual IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB_vs {
app-service /Common/IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB

The iApp has all the DNS names attached to it and I have an iRule for handling the redirects to URLs that IIS will then proxy to the WebLogic.
I did start my captures on IIS and did find that I missed some of the require SSL settings so at least some of my failed tests are my own stupidity and lack of quality control. I'm still reviewing. However, I'm now questioning this configuration and if it's something that F5 really isn't going to handle well. If I'm forced to request a bunch of new IPs and DNS entries to make this work properly I can abondon this effort and start that approach.
Could you also show the irule and pool configuration?

Absolutely. This is the iRule (currently)
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
"idcfdars.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://idcfdars.bls.gov/ARS" }
"cesdatad.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://cesdatad.bls.gov/CESLite" }
"blsconfidentialitytrainingd.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://blsconfidentialitytrainingd.bls.gov/ICT" }
"cpidatad.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://cpidatad.bls.gov/CPILite" }
"idcfdbbs.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://idcfdbbs.bls.gov/BBS" }
"joltsdatad.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://joltsdatad.bls.gov/JOLTS" }
"blscompdatad.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://blscompdatad.bls.gov/NCSLite" }
"trainingd.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://trainingd.bls.gov/LMS" }
"respondentsd.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://respondentsd.bls.gov/upload" }
"idcfdoews.bls.gov" { HTTP::redirect "https://idcfdoews.bls.gov/OEWSLite" }
default { HTTP::redirect "https://idcfd.bls.gov/authentication/login" }
}
}
}when HTTP_RESPONSE {
foreach header {Server X-Powered-By X-AspNet-Version Cache-Control} {
HTTP::header remove $header
}
HTTP::header insert Pool-Info [class search -value hosts_dg eq [IP::server_addr]]
HTTP::header insert WL-Proxy-Client-IP [IP::client_addr]
set cookieNames [HTTP::cookie names]
foreach aCookie $cookieNames {
HTTP::cookie version $aCookie 1
HTTP::cookie secure $aCookie enable
HTTP::cookie httponly $aCookie enable
}
}I will note that I've played with this iRule frequently and even completedsome of the testing withot the iRule in the config. That's actually tru of the VS also. I started disabling profiles to see how or if it imapcted the errors but never found these efforts to change much. (Sometimes it got worse)
Right now the pool is actually just a single node and I changed the HTTP port to 81 to help isolate the traffic during dubugging. Yesterday when I thought a lot of the traffic never got to IIS it was based on the IIS logs showing the health traffic but not my testing traffic.
ltm pool IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB_pool {
app-service /Common/IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB
members {
dewsvweb1:81 {
address 146.142.201.51
app-service /Common/IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB
session monitor-enabled
state up
}
}
monitor IDCFLB.app/IDCFLB_http_monitor

Another follow up on my self imposed quality control problem. I only found 1 site where that was the issue. Still have some sites that show the too many redirect errors, but it is inconsistent. A couple sites showed this error then a few seconds later loaded. Right this moment I have more sites loading the home page than not (haven't started deeper regression testing yet), but the incosistencies definitely curb my enthusiasm that I actually fixed anything.
