Altocumuluspersist source_addr
Hello,
I have question on understanding persistence source address on the F5. Does this apply to only when you create a session it will always maintain that session to the same backend node? Or ...

NimbostratusConnection attempt after the persistence timeout will be considered as a new connection instead of a returning connection. So in that scenario, your connection will load balanced as per the LB method.

AltocumulusThank you for the response. To follow up with that.. If I were to enable indefinite timeout on a new custom persistence sour_addr profile and the VIP learns the client IP address, will it always forwards it to the same backend server even with brand new connections from the same client IP?
