1. With Cookie presistence, if I set the LTM2 with will the cookie presistance will the cookie come from the source client machine or from the LTM1?persistence cookie will be inserted by ltm2 in the first http response to client. client will send the cookie in subsequent request and ltm2 will use it to send the request to server client previously connects.

 

 

2. With Source address affinity presistence, if I set the LTM2 with will the Source addr presistance come from the source client machine or from the LTM1 snat IP?ltm1 snat ip.

 

 

3. With eaither of these profiles, will I need to have presistance set on both LTM1 and LTM2 for it to work properly?persistence profile is not needed on ltm1 if you do not want to persistence to the same apache server.

 

 

hope this helps.
