Loadbalancing of Bluecoat proxysg and failover of internet links
Guys,
We have got 2 Bluecoat proxy in different datacenter with different ISP connection.
I have got a Big IP LTM LTM loadbalancing 2 Bluecoat proxy device using icmp ping health check but I want to go beyond this like check the health of Internet access through Bluecoat device.What kind of health check do I use at node level.
This is for automatic failover of ISP link failure. The current config only does failover incase the Bluecoat device is not available(not pingable)
I want to failover of Bluecoat proxy even in case of ISP failure.
Since all the users will be hitting LTM Vip for proxy ,I want the LTM health monitor to do this check http get google.com through proxyserver:8080 etc.
Which monitor type would achieve this kind of check?
Any of you have experienced with this F5 Big IP and bluecoat proxy.
The main purpose of this is failover of both proxies and 2 ISP links at each data center.
How do you guys have failover of 2 ISP link at different data center.
Link controller is not an option here since 2 ISP link is at separate data center.
