Should BIG IP replace webserver to app server load balancing

Hi Bob,

 

We are not using load balancing modules on the web servers because they tend to be worthless to us as we have seen future upgrades unbalance the load. To remain consistent we use the same load balancer to balance the application server. Both Web and Application server can sit on separate or same segments off the load balancer. From a security perspective this can also be accomplished by moving the app server behind a firewall further downstream and perform the same thing.
