CirrostratusSMTP Reverse Proxy
Hello;
Currently I have a Public IP NAT to my Private VIP in my LTM. This VIP have a pool of 8 SMTP Servers.
Due to security policy, my department is being asked to use a reverse proxy to protect those SMTP servers.
How I can do this?
Please advise
Thank you
J

if you just want to separate client-side (between client and bigip) and server-side (between bigip and server) connections, standard virtual server type already does.
