Hi Eric,

 

I noticed this when reading article again. Maybe I am wrong but for me SNI Routing drawing do not match LTP crated.

 

For App1 on drawing description says HTTP (SSL Offload), but description of LTP rule says:

 

"...we are setting a condition on the SSL Extension “servername” and sending the traffic to a pool without terminating the SSL connection. The pool member could be another server or another BIG-IP device.

 

So for me first rule is in fact doing SSL Pass Trough and second rule is doing kind of SSL Offload (assuming that targeted VS is in front of destination server without SSL - so VS has Client SSL profile attached, decrypts traffic and sends it to the target server using configured Pool.

 

Am I right or wrong here?

 

Piotr
