CSS one arm load balancing

[einn]

Hi

Would like to know what are the requirements for a one-arm load balancing to work? Under which situation can it be implemented?

Thanks

Hi Einn,

one of the main issues is that your applications you want to loadbalance are not needing the original Client-IP-Address as source IP-Address. This is because you need to do client nat if you are using one-armed loadbalancing.

Hoep this link answers all of your questions.

If you need explanations on this feel free to ask.

Kind Regards,
