Socket Connections Load Balancling

Hi,

 

I do not know if it is possible to load balance the packets coming from a single socket connection to multpile nodes. So there is a client application which opens a single socket connection. I have 4 nodes defined on the virtual server, and my servers only accepts one connection. After the connection establishment all packets will pass through this single connection. There are keepalive packets which holds the conection up all the time.

 

Another thing is that my servers can start sending packets to the client application through this connection. So I have to also care about the client itself. If the client stops sending packets for a period of time, I have to drop the connections that I've established with nodes, so that they should not send any packets through this connection.

 

Client->10.10.10.10:1001 (virtual server)

 

F5 -> 10.10.10.11:1001,10.10.10.12:1001,,10.10.10.13:1001 and 10.10.10.14:1001
