load balancing and server session

raysm — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 16:36:23 GMT

if i configure SLB what will happen if the server initiate connection back to client for example authentication or for a data transfer.

Will the server still use the virtual ip?

example below server3 initiating a session (example authentication) back to client. will it use the virtual ip?

client ------virtual----server1----server3---client

The server will use the VIP if you configure a source group as shown below. You must have a content rule with the same VIP and services.

owner myorganization

content serverfarm

add service server1

add service server2

vip address 172.16.36.58

active

group serverfarm

vip address 172.16.36.58

add service server1

add service server2

active
