Load balancing based on file content
Hi All, I've done some reading but I can't seem to find a solution to what I'm trying to achieve. I would like to set up load balancing based on the receive string from a file on a server. My setup is as follows: 2 Servers in a pool, A & B Each server has a file that needs to be queried. If the receive string is "ok" traffic is distributed based on the round robin method. If the receive string from 1 of the servers is changed load balancing is then based on priority group setting, where server A=1 and B=5. Unlike like a health monitor, I need both servers to be able to received traffic, but distributed based on the priority group setting for the server. Somehow this was accomplished on the A10, but I'm having a hard time trying to replicate it on the F5. Any thoughts or suggestions on our I can achieve. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers Deena
Question on Ratio Load Balancing Method
Hey guys, I'm working on configuring a GSLB zone and I have a good question regarding the Ratio load balancing method. In my setup, I have three virtual servers (three DCs) assigned to a particular pool_list, and the requested load balancing method is a "Ratio" method. (the requested ratio is 100/0/0) My question is what will happen if the health check failed for theVS_1 with 100 ratios? Is the alternate load balancing method will pick up? or VS2 would be a 100 ratio? Also, is there a way to make sure which VS (VS_2 or VS_3) would be the new 100% VS in case VS_1 is not reachable/went down? Pool_admin.xxxx.com VS1_1.1.1.1_443 --> Ratio 100 VS2_2.2.2.2_443--> Ratio 0 VS3_3.3.3.3_443--> Ratio 0 Thanks! Humam
