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

Building on David's terminology clarification, 'node' would be the back-end server IP, while 'pool member' is an ip:port combination. So you're forwarding to the same node, but different ports on the node, hence different pool members.

 

I tend to think of VIP as just the virtual IP address, and the combination of VIP and port/service as a 'virtual service/server'. However people use many of the terms interchangeably, hence need for clarification sometimes.

 

Good luck! I think you'll be in good shape.
