AltostratusLoad balancing two explicit forward proxies
Hi;
Is there a document which elaborates on the best practice F5 configuration for load balancing two explicit forward proxy devices for http/https traffic.
Kindly Wasfi

Hi Wasfi,
there are unfortunately no helpful documents available.
My best advice is to use a simple Layer4 Virtual Server with "Least Connection" balancing and SRC_IP persistence or using a CARP-based persistence/balancing based on the Source_IP address of the client to not split the connections of a single client through multiple proxy servers.
Using CARP based on the requested ressource does unfortunately have serious limitations (as already mentioned in your other post)...
Note: You could also implement a client side CARP-Algorythm using the old fashioned Super Proxy Script written by Sharp back in the 90th.
Cheers, Kai
