    Nothing much to add here. However totally possible and people use this situation where they want one device to be active for a set of urls and other for others.

     

    Have seen a few deployments but make sure over all utilization on each device doesnt cross 30 - 35 % as if one device fails all of it comes to the other device and it may die too if its loaded.

     

    Regards, Vikram
