Loadbalancing Across Multiple listeners

I have an oracle 10G DB with multiple listeners (for same DB), and would like to load balance across multiple listeners (Round robin).

 

 

Is this possible ? Are there any downsides to this setup ?
  • Hi Ram,

     

     

     

    yes. When you define a pool you can have it defined on the same IP on different ports. The F5 should do all the port translations in between.

    I can understand that it is generally done for webservers etc. Would it still work without any problems, when doing it with Oracle DB listener ?

  • Hi Ram,

     

    From the F5 perspective a port is a port. It will translate like any other product translates a port.
