CSS 11503: sticky by even and odd client IP addresses

[g.mongatti]

I have two CSS 11503 and two real servers to balance. We would like to stick the clients by IP addresses, so that the even IP addresses are sticky to a server and the odd IP addresses are sticky to the other one. Is it possible ?

this is not possible and I don't really see why you would need such a thing.

You can do sticky based on source-ip so the same source ip will always be sent to the same server.

The distribution should be even but it will not be a odd/even split.

So, all you need is 'balance srcip'

Thinking about it, you could achieve what you want with an acl and the 'prefer' option.

However, as I don't see the benefit of such distribution I would not recommend it.

Gilles.
