Need help load balancing between multiple ports...

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but here's my challenge:

 

 

I have an application that can run multiple instances of itself on different ports on a single host. What I'd like to do is have one VIP, say x.x.x.1:14000 route to multiple instances of my application on multiple servers, the pool might be something like this:

 

 

 

x.x.x.2:14000

 

x.x.x.2:14001

 

x.x.x.3:14000

 

x.x.x.3:14001

 

x.x.x.4:14000

 

x.x.x.4:14001

 

 

 

 

 

We've had some difficulty conceptualizing how this would work - is this possible?

 

 

 

Thanks!

    This would work just fine. Your Virtual Server would be x.x.x.1:14000 while your pool members would be the above.

    Hi CIH,

     

     

    To add make sure you have address and port translation turned at the VIP.
