Non-Standard GTM/ LTM failover Query

Hi Barry,

 

If you are doing one to one mappings then you can use the iRULE to steer the client to the right virtual. I want to advise you that I am going to make some assumptions so hopefully you can clarify if I am going in the wrong direction.

 

 

I have had a situation where a client wanted 1 virtual to many nodes where the many was in the three hundreds - all one to one connections and not load balancing and the ability to grow. The trick in that situation was determine how to drive traffic to the correct node, especially if the node was added yesterday and without having someone make changes in the F5. So I decided to write up an iRule using b64encode/b64decode command. Specifically the application made a request in the terminal server using b64encoded value which was decoded by the F5 and used to send traffic towards the node.

 

 

I hope this helps
