CSS routing versus switching

[mcristobal]

Can I deploy a CSS 11501 to just route requests to several reals (not phiscally behind the CSS) on separate network segments?

I looked at Content routing Agent but this feature is just for DNS requests...I would like to do the same but for different traffic on different ports.

Thanks

with the CSS you can have the reals several hops away.

However, you have to be careful that the response from the real server goes back through the CSS as well.

This is a statefull device so it needs to see all the traffic [like a firewall].

If you can't guarantee this, you need to configure client nat on the CSS, to force the response to come back to it.

Gilles,

thanks,, that is exactly what I had to do by creating a source group and Natting outbound all traffic from the reals.
