VIP Type decision
Hi, I need help deciding between choosing the best compatible type for the VIP.
The needs:
Customer-facing VIP that will forward client data to other VIPS. Behind this 'backend' VIP will be a few servers, This architecture is needed to manipulate traffic between two different VIPs on different sites. (to clear a site for maintenance, for example)
I debated between Performance (HTTP) and performance L4.
No special requirements will be applied to this VIP. I need to record the source IP of the client all the way (XFF), and I need to configure a short TTL for the TCP session without health traffic (requests)
All the iRules/LTM will be applied to the backed VIPs. Also, I not sure where is the best place to use the WAF policy for the front/back end VIP
Thank you all!
