ACE Configuration

Hi,

I need some configuration to provide site stickiness with the Help of ACE running in two different sites.

DNS functionality is handovered to the GSS

For example

Once a DNS A record is given back to the user for www.company.com and the request is made to the ACE, the ACE will send a http redirect back to the user for a new domain name of www1.company.com or www2.company.com for the respective

sites, the user was initial sent to via the DNS response. This insures that the user will alwaysreturn to the same site.

Gilles,

Thanks for your response.

I am after HTTP/HTTPS redirects in the ACE for site stickiness

Example

Two sites site1 and site 2

GSS configuration with 3 DNS Rules

RULE1 - WWW.MYCOMPANY.COM - 1.1.1.1,1.1.1.2

RULE2 - WWW1.MYCOMPANY.COM -1.1.1.1(SITE1)

RULE3 - WWW2.MYCOMPANY.COM - 1.1.1.2(SITE2)

clinet to the GSS ---> www.mycompany.com hits the Site A (1.1.1.1) the ACE shall redirect the client request to WWW1.MYCOMPANY.COM and further request from the client should stick to the same site till it completes the session i.e www1.mycompany.com.

Thanks in Advance
