Load-balancing to a cache engines in one-arm mode

Hi all,

 

 

We are looking for a solution to redirect traffic to a cluster of cache engines in one-arm mode (just like that : http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Basic_Load_Balancing_Using_One_Arm_Mode_with_Source_NAT_on_the_Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_Configuration_Example)

 

 

Goal is no to use Cisco ACE like in the diagram, but a F5 gear instead to intercept traffic between clients and servers and redirect traffic to a cluster of cache engines on the way to the servers (just like with a router configured with WCCP or PBR, but we don't want to use PBR/WCCP but load-balancers instead ; reason is WCCP is very long to converge when there's a failover)

 

 

Is it possible with F5 products and which one ?

 

 

Thanks very much
