ProxyPass iRule performance

We are designing a solution for connectivity over HTTPS and wondering if it's better to have 300 vservers on different ports Vs. 1 vServer with ProxyPass iRule, 1 Datagroup and 300 entries.

 

Are there any known performance issues with either of these?

 

Appreciate any info.

 

Thanks!

    300 vservers will use the same IP address but different ports (non-standard HTTPS) and 3 vservers will use 3 unique IP addresses and standard HTTPS port (443)

     

    Looking for some recommendations and suggestions.

    configuration wise the the 300 virtual servers isn't a nice idea. performance wise it would depend a lot on the usage of this system, if you stay within the specs of the box and are doing some extremely time sensitive i would expect it to be fine.

     

    but you will never know for sure until it is running.
