Using node/pool from common Partition in custom partition

As the title says I try to use nodes/pool from the common partition in a custom partition (let's name it "foo").

 

What I did:

 

1. Configuring vlan and self IPs in the common partition
2. Added the nodes in common partition (available via icmp monitor)
3. Added pool consisting of the configured nodes in common partition (available via tcp monitor)
4. Switched to foo and configured a virtual server with the pool from the common partition
5. In the foo partition the virtual server is available (also tried with Auto Map to NAT the traffic)

The problem: If I now try to establish a tcp connection to the lb, the connection never reaches the nodes. After the first packet the connection gets terminated.

 

What I tried: I configured a virtual server in the common partition and it works. So the configuration of the nodes and pools seems fine.

 

Why I want to do this: I have three custom partitions and I don't want to configure all three partitions into the Network that would mean I have to use up 9 IPs (cluster consisting of two machines + floating IP)

 

It looks like if you try to use nodes/a pool from foo, that has no IP in the network of the nodes, the lb can't forward the traffic. I've read some topics and things that this should actually be possible.

 

Thank you for any help.
