NimbostratusLoad balancing SMPP authentication with MRF and no iRules. Can it be done?
Hi DevCentral,
I will be honest, I do not completely understand how SMPP works, and the full requirements, but of all the configurations required this is the one that's throwing me for a loop. ...

MVPHi T33,
The requirements are to allow the connecting client to authenticate to both servers and any subsequent messages are load balanced to either of the servers, and if possible persist to only one based on the client/source
I don't get the point why you want to authenticate the client to both pool members, if you're going to persist the client via its source IP address to one of the pool members?
Im my opinion it would just make sense to authenticate to both servers, if you need to implement a per-message load-balancing based on certain SMPP informations, isn't it?
Do you have such requirements?
Cheers, Kai
