Hi Tony,

 

 

What criteria do you want to use to identify a client to persist? Is it source IP address or some component of the request headers or request data?

 

 

If you just want to persist based on the source IP, you can create a custom source address persistence profile with "match across *" enabled (Click here). Add the same profile to both VIPs and you should be set.

 

 

If you want to pick out something from the payload, you could collect it with TCP::collect and TCP::release commands (Click here) and then persist off of it using the persist command (Click here). This would add more complexity and overhead compared with source address persistence.

 

 

If you have questions on either option let us know.
