Selective SNAT based on server network

The developers could probably be more precise in responding, but the behavior without the LB::detach indicated to me that the server side connection had already begun at the LB_SELECTED event. If that's the case, then I can no longer change my source IP, which is why I issued the LB::detach. This could be faulty logic, though.

 

 

Since I was detaching the connection, I wanted to make sure I re-attached to the same server, which is why I used the pool [LB::server pool] member $dst_server line. Without this line, detaching would kick off another load balancing decision, which may or may not impact your snat selection. As I've become more comfortable with iRules, I've tried to make the rules as generic as possible so I can reuse them on different virtuals or systems with as little rework as possible.

 

 

I have no idea on your third question. I haven't convinced my employer that I need the web accelerator yet, so I have no experience with that piece.
