Dear Team, Could you please assist me to achieve the below requirement ?

We have two windows 2008 servers with IIS installed and the proxy.pac file resides on these servers: a. 10.10.51.100 b. 10.10.51.200

Currently only 10.10.51.100 is being used which redirects the web traffic to the bluecoat appliance. proxy setting on the browser is http://10.10.51.100/proxy.pac. If i want to bring the second server 10.10.51.200 online, Please let me know the procedure for creating the virtual server (not sure if anu URL rewrite is required).

  1. What port VS must be configured? is it 80 ?
  2. if two pool members are configured, How client traffic will be redirected to look the .pac file?

Thanks, Vish

  1. Port 80
  2. Direct your clients to the IP address of the virtual server on the F5.

Basically you will need to create 2 nodes: 10.10.51.100 and 10.10.51.200. Place these nodes in a load balancing pool. Then create a virtual server with the HTTP service that utilizes the pool so it can load balance between the two servers. Point your clients at the virtual IP.

Load balancing 101.

Thanks a ton for your prompt response. Just want to summarize the points to ensure i am on the tight page: 1. Configure a plain HTTP VS with a load balanced pool with 2 nodes. 2. On the client browser, I need to mention

So there is no other special config on F5 VS to redirect URI request from to right?

Thanks,

That’s pretty much all you need to do.
