@luca That's interesting, is it for one client? Or are you offering shared services to multiple clients?

 

 

Just sounds like you would have to build some logic to build the non syncable items on the peer..

 

Its a public cloud service. Customers can go to a web portal and create load balancing rules which then get programmed into the F5 via an API.

 

 

Previously we have just run a single F5 but now we are expanding we have a new HA cluster. So yes looks like we will have to modify the API to create the VLANs and self IPs on both units.
