load balance http traffic on diiferent ports

Is it possible to load balance http traffic on different ports to the same pool members using the same VS?   For example we have an application that uses a virtual server on our LTM of appsvr.   ...
application delivery
BIG-IP
LTM

Not quite. First, create a new pool, using the same Nodes, but configure it with the new port(9000). Then create a new VIP with the SAME IP as the 80 and 443 VIPs, but with the new port(9000). Lastly, associate the new VIP:9000 with a new pool:9000.

 

You should have three VIPs:

 

VIP1.company.com:80 --balances to--> Pool:80 (pool_mbr1:80, pool_mbr2:80, pool_mbr3:80) VIP1.company.com:443 --balances to--> Pool:443 (pool_mbr1:443, pool_mbr2:443, pool_mbr3:443) VIP1.company.com:9000 --balances to--> Pool:9000 (pool_mbr1:9000, pool_mbr2:9000, pool_mbr3:900)

 

These are all separate VIPs, yet share the same FQDN. Keep in mind, a VIP is a ip AND port combination, not just the ip.

 

Good Luck!
