Multiple HOSTS -> Single VIP -> iRule routing to other Virtuals
In our environment, we're limited on the number of external IP addresses we can use. As we are adding additional applications that we want to deliver, we're setting up an environment where multiple hosts on a given domain will go to the same IP address that routes to a VIP, and then an iRule will route those requests to alternate VIPS based on the hostname.
I just wanted to know if anyone else is doing something similar and has uncovered any problems with this type of design.
So our design would look like this:
APP1 --> VIP --[iRule]--> APP1_VIP
APP2 --> VIP --[iRule]--> APP2_VIP
...
APPn --> VIP --[iRule]--> APPn_VIP
