I have a need to bind the same real server port to multiple virtual servers while maintaining port translation (based on a csw-policy). Of course it's not so simple as to just bind the real port twice -- once to each VS. So I started looking at what is referred to as a "many-to-one" binding, as so called by the Foundry folks, and the associated alias port shuffle. I did some tests and I can get this to work for situations where port translation isn't required, however, I kinda really need both functions at the same time.
Here's a summary: 1. Requests are made to a VIP on the SI on port 8500. 2. URI matching/parsing is performed via csw-policy to determine where the traffic should be sent (forward <group-id>) 3. Most applications reside on a single physical host (host1) 4. One applications resides on a different host (host2) and is already bound to another RS. Port translation is required for all traffic to the real servers (blame the developers). Host2 runs an application that's required for another application and can not easily be replicated on a new host (blame management). Ultimate question: Is there a way to combine alias ports, port translation and content switching all in some neat package? Heck, it doesn't event have to be a neat package. Environment: ServerIron GT-E, ver. 9.4.00s Suggestions appreciated. Solutions desired. - Pat -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
