Hello, could you clarify more please ?

 

From your description I understand the following :

 

client --> WAF --> VS (F5) ---> Backend Server

 

Could you tell us more about the WAF (an F5 ? or another editor ?), what kind of VS (F5) you configured (a standard VS ?), and which backend server is used...

 

If the WAF is an F5, then you can insert the XFF (X-Forwarded-For) to know the client IP address and make persistance on the "source_ip" / also if your clients supports cookies, you can make "cookie" persistence...

 

You have many options, but we need to have more info.

 

For the LB method, you can use the "least connection member" if backends have same ressources (CPU RAM)

 

Regards
