Forwarding to virtual server on another LTM controller
My organization is preparing to run a test and target campaign, where they want to route a small subset of traffic to a new version of the application seamlessly. This works fine if both the old and new version are behind the same controller, and I can have an iRule simply select the pool of old version servers or the pool of new version servers. I've got logic to persist the initial selection with a cookie, and allow adjusting the ratio between A and B. However, in our production environment, the new and the old versions are not on servers that can be behind the same LTM controllers. So, to route to experience B I need my iRule to be able to forward traffic to a VIP on another controller. How can I achieve this? I tried adding the remote VIP as a node on the controller for A and just selecting the node, but that doesn't seem to work.
