That was my assumption; I suppose I should put my feature request into Foundry ;-)
This limitation makes it awkward to manage load balancing applications in a large hosting environment. Having multiple unique IPs on each server just adds to the complexity of a solution when unique ports should be all that's required. When we used to have Cisco CSS switches I was able to load balance effectively across ports on 1 IP (and reuse real server ports in multiple VIPs). I like these Foundry SI's for the granularity of configuration, but other times I wish some of the Cisco features were available. I haven't checked the latest firmware features in a while, any chance some of this was changed is the most current versions?

You need to setup multiple IP addresses on the real server (one for each site) to allow this. Then, in your configuration, you'll have to specify 1 real server per site (using its own IP address). I'm not sure, but I didn't see an option in the documentation to do this with only one IP.

The first real server port bound in the virtual server always seems to gets the connections. Reading the documentation closely, I noticed the predictor balances load across 'real servers'. Do I really need to configure unique IPs for each site on the same physical server (and matching 'real servers') in order to load balance effectly across sites on one server?
