Jan 25, 2010Route Back to the Original Server through VIP
Hello everyone,
I received a request on establishing a very simple (but looks stupid) connection, but I don't really know how to make it successful. Hope someone could help here...

So you're trying to send the request to the source IP for specific requests? That rule looks okay for the most part. One question: Is the destination IP of the VIP a network? If not, why are you checking the local address?
If you're forcing the load balance selection to the client IP address, you'll need to use source address translation to ensure the server replies back to itself through LTM. You can do this in the iRule using the 'snat automap' command in the same section as the node command.
