CSM and Loadbalancing multiple ports

I have a request to loadbalance Microsoft Communicator. Communicator has multiple ports that need loadbalanced. Is it as easy as creating a server farm with real servers and creating multiple virtual farms with each port (example below)?

serverfarm OCS_FARM_CLT

nat server

no nat client

predictor leastconns

real 192.168.100.91

inservice

real 192.168.100.92

serverfarm OCS_FARM_SVR

nat server

nat client OCS_POOL

predictor leastconns

You are just missing one piece.

If you need to guarantee that one client communicate at the same time with the same server on all different ports, you need to tie those vservers together with a sticky group.

Simply create a sticky src ip group and assign to all vservers. Just one group for all vservers.

Also, be aware that the 'vlan x' command is not mandatory under the vserver.

So, if you want traffic from any vlan to hit the rule, simply remove the command.

Gilles.

Thanks for your quick response. I will add the sticky src ip group and test it out. Thanks again!
