I agree that using universal persistence is the way to go, I would look at using the source port to create the persistence on as it should be unique to each session.
El-Guapo_29797Lapayne.. where would I add the port on F5?
- Lee_Payne_53457
I would use something similar to this (syntax could be wrong as it's off the top of my head)
when CLIENT_CONNECTED {
persist uie [TCP::remote_port] }
This should take the remote port and use it as the persistence value source, the context may require TCP::local_port but that will require testing
- El-Guapo_29797Thank you again. I will try this and let you know.
- El-Guapo_29797So, just to be sure, I created a new Universal Persistence, enabled "Match accross virtual servers" and also added an iRule which "persist uie "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::remote_port]". Then on Virtual content, call this persistence. Any comment on if this is right or i am missing something?

Matin, I wonder if a Universal Persistence profile might help here see sol7392 Not 100% sure this will help but there may be something in the connection that you can capture to ensure the required stickiness. Sorry i couldn't help more but just thought it would be worth mentioning this. N
