Jul 01, 2011SNAT and Source IP load balancing
Hi All,
I'm hoping that this is a simple question to answer. I need to load balance requests by the source IP addresses of the incoming connection. However, I also need to NAT the source address. If I use SNAT can I also use source address load balancing or is the request NATd prior to it being load balanced?
Thanks
Phill

Hi Phill,
Load balancing selection is done before a serverside connection is established. By design SNAT has no impact on persistence or load balancing.
