Poolmember is a Virtual Serve ron the same box: iRule needed?

I want to implement some sort of load balancing hierarchy on one BigIp box. In this case, the pool member of pool 1 corresponds to a virtual server (VS2) on the same box(with its own pool, pool 2). Iterative load balancing.

 

 

I can't get traffic to enter the VS2 from pool 1. WebUI stats show that the pool 1 members are being hit, but VS2 is not hit.

 

 

Would I need to design an iRule to get this working? (and eg forward the traffic based upon an inserted cookie by the LB to the correct pool - in the end, pool 2)

    Hello,

     

     

    Having a virtual server in a pool member on the same BIG-IP has is only possible in 9.4. This hasn't been possible in prior versions.

     

     

    In earlier versions, you could use a rule on VS1 to send a redirect to the VS2 if you want the client to connect there.
