Hi Magnus,

 

Not exactly.

 

In a nutshell:

 

  1. Create a node with the IP-address of the remote site. The standard (ICMP) monitor may or may not work.
  2. Create a pool for the remote site and add the node from 1 as a member. Here you can add monitors like are more appropriate for the member.
  3. Create a VIP for "mylocalwebsite". Ideally you would use a subdomain (or drop the portion "/something/" from the path altogether). If that's possible you are now done. If not you'd have to create an iRule to rewrite the request and select the right pool.

Questions for you:

 

1) Is the domain "mylocalwebsite" used for anything else?

 

2) If so, can you use a subdomain for this effort?
