NimbostratusWhat would you do if you were me?
Eg. Kind of a noob.
I have a mail server cluster that will have a bunch of services behind the F5. IMAP,POP,SMTP, plus HTTPD running on different ports (eg, admin site vs. user).
Would you set up separate virtual servers for each service, or would you set up a bunch of pools, and write an iRule to forward to the pools based on the port the client is requesting?
Just sort of looking for a best practice, or maybe it doesn't matter.

- You'll almost certainly want separate virtuals so you can have different profiles enabled for each. Otherwise you won't be able to use an HTTP profile, etc.
