Access multiple non-standard ports on the server through a single VIP - can you do it, and how?
If a client is trying to connect to alternate services on a server through a VIP on a non-standard port, where one is already used, how would you go about setting this up? For example, as it currently stands, DNS points 'mysubdomain.mydomain.com' to a VIP IP address configured on the F5, and for it, there is an http to https redirect which sends 443 requests to a non-standard port on the hosts in the pool (ex: 8080). Lets say a client needs to access to 2 different services available on other ports listening on the servers - TCP 65000 and 65001, for example, but using the url 'mysubdomain.mydomain.com' (if possible). If the firewall in front allows traffic from the sources to the VIP address on ports 65000/65001, how would you configure this on the F5? From the client side, is it simply accessed in a browser using 'mysubdomain.mydomain.com:65001'? Would the 'https://' or 'http://' prefix be needed? (ex: 'https://mysubdomain.mydomain.com:65000' ... I'm not sure yet if access will be requested via browser or CLI/script, but I'm curious how it would work) Would this be a separate VIP? Policy and/or iRule?
