Mar 14, 2012Load balancing based on load feedback from real servers
Hey Guys,
Is there a way to provide load feedback from real servers to vip ?
Assume a VIP has 3 real servers behind it.
Server1
Server2
Server3
Each server...

I can't think of a simple way to collect the load metrics via HTTP and dynamically modify the ratio of connections the pool members get. You could potentially use SNMP to collect load info from the server and configure dynamic ratio load balancing that way though:
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm_configuration_guide_10_1/ltm_appendixb_dynamic_ratio_lb.html?sr=20084010
Another option would be to configure a reverse HTTP monitor and disable a server when the load increases past a certain threshold so it won't receive new connections.
