Stickiness across ports

Is there a way to perform server stickiness across ports? Here's what I'm trying to accomplish using the standard stickiness out of the box.

 

 

Port 80 --> round robins between server 1, server 2, server 3, server 4

 

Port 443 --> round robins between server 1, server 2, server 3, server 4 (same set of servers)

 

 

I turned on source based stickiness for port 80 and port 443 VIPs.

 

 

However, we need to be able to stick on the same server across port 80 and across port 443.

 

 

I.e. User A must be stuck to server 1 on 80 and server 1 on 443. User B can be stuck on Server 3 on 80 and 443.

 

 

We cannot have User A stuck on Server 1 on port 80 and Server 4 on port 443.

 

 

Let me know if anyone has an ideas -- thanks !

    Cookie persistence could accomplish this for you pretty easily. All you need is for the client to be assigned a back-end node, and have the same nodes available in the 80 and 443 pools.
