Using Minimum Lower Layer Protocol with BigIp

Hi Matt,

 

 

Thanks for your response. It's very helpful and I appreciate it. It looks like we can set the timeout value to "indefinite" to establish a permanent connection. However, in case of a server failure, client would need to reissue the request to establish connection with different server. I have a follow-up question -

 

 

Is it possible to establish a rule such that from client to BigIp there's only one connection (permanent) but BigIp makes permanent connections to multiple server instances at the same time? In other words, when a client makes a request, it will be served by multiple servers and each connection from BigIp to server is also permanent. In case one of the server fails, the client would continue to be served by another server instance. Please let me know if this makes sense or if you need more info.
