Two VIP's same pool members and Same port

Hi, Is it possible to setup TWO different VIP's having the same pool members and same port ?

 

For Example:

 

VIP1 - 10.10.1.100

 

Pool: 10.10.1.10:443, 10.10.1.11:443, 10.10.1.12:443

 

VIP2 - 10.10.1.200

 

Pool: 10.10.1.10:443, 10.10.1.11:443, 10.10.1.12:443

 

Is it valid ?

    totally valid, not issue with that.

     

    about the only thing not possible on the virtual server side is the same IP address AND port.

    Yes. Create the pool and make it the default pool for both virtuals.

    A pool is an independent configuration element and can be utilized with multiple Virtual Servers/iRules as required.

     

    From an operational point of view, looking at the stats of the pool won't provide you with specific information related to a an individual VIP/VS as traffic from multiple VIP/VS is being sent to the same pool. You would have to also consider if connections that hit the VIP/VS have to maintain persistence across the 2 VIP/VS.
