NimbostratusLoad balancing clients based on client domain name
I have a need to direct my customers to different web pools based on the domain the client is located on. So far i have only seen one solution that doesn't involve just using ip's and that was to sea...

NimbostratusYeah i'm using a 4.x version of Big-ip. I tried setting up classses but my situation is a bit more unique. I had a hard time verifying the address blocks.
It is good to know that it can be done with the newer versions of Big-ip.
Couple of questions regarding the 9.x solution posted above.
1) It was mentioned that not all reverse zones are accurate. By this did you mean that they just might not resolve or someone might be able to spoof it? And is this any different then a normal DNS lookup?
2) Our current solution is to use IIS to do a combination of DNS lookup and ip matches. Then redirect the user to a differnet virtual server on big-ip if the user is unidentifiable. Do you know if the performance impacts in big-ip for DNS lookups is any different then the performance impacts for IIS?
I appreciate all the assitance.
