mark a node down in one pool only?

In v9.x and higher you can define the same IP:port combo in several pools, and each is as a unique configuration object (Pool:IP:port) whose status can be managed independently of peer instances of the same service.

 

 

For instance, if you have a webserver hosting 2 apps on port 80, and you want to maintain their individual statuses, you would define 2 pools containing the same members. Typical scenario would involve applying a monitor to each pool that tests only the application it serves. When one monitor marks a server down in one pool, the corresponding pool member in another pool is unaffected - its status is managed by a different monitor.

 

 

iControl can manage the status of such pool members independently as well using pool member-specific functions.
