Load Balancing without changing HOST name

Hi,

 

I setup a virtual server test.abc.com:8008 with pool members (1) atest.abc.com:8008, and (2) btest.abc.com:8008.

 

What i wanted to do:

 

  1. all client-server (members) traffic should pass through LTM. LTM is not in-line.
  2. maintain the hostname test.abc.com hostname with the whatever uri appended at the end, when the server respond.

Is this possible?

LTM

    1. Absolutely. If the servers have a direct route back to the clients and return traffic can bypass the LTM then you would need to configure SNAT on the virtual server. SNAT automap, for example, will change the source address to one on the LTM to ensure traffic goes back via LTM.

       

    2. The host does not get rewritten by the LTM.

       

    Hope this helps,
