Load Balancing based on Port
Is there a was in iRules to send traffic to a Pool based on port that the client is sending trafic to. I know you can do IP::addr is there a IP::Port? Thanks
That's probably not a good idea. Session persistence means that separate connections that are part of the same session will be directed to the same back-end server. The problem with the client port is that it generally changes for each client connection. The best way to support session persistence is to use something in the higher-level protocol, like an HTTP cookie. For SSL, one can use the SSL session id for persistence. However, there are problems with tracking the session id across renegotiations.
