I am not quite sure which release you are using but this should work.

A very simple config like the following:

server real rs101 192.168.1.101
 port http
 port http url "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.whatever.com\r\n\r\n"
 port 8080
!
!
server virtual vs200 20.20.1.200
 predictor round
 port http
 bind http rs101 http rs101 8080


-> one real server with two daemons and one virtual server using the predictor roundrobin is going to result in a load balancing:

This is with release 10.2.01c.

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?

As far as I know, you can't load balance across multiple sites running on the same real server. 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.

Subject: [f-nsp] Load balancing across sties on one real server

I've noticed if I have multiple site running on the same real server I can't balance the load across them, , regardless of the predictor. 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?
