Hi all,
Quick question. If you have a CSS 11503 with one SSL offload module installed.. is there any point in using the "application ssl" and "advanced-balance ssl" options in the content rule? I can't find any info that tells me for sure but I'm guessing that these options can be used to balance between multiple ssl modules and provide stickiness to the modules etc.. but doesn't have any effect on the traffic distribution and stickiness to the backend server services?
For example if I have a L5 content rule like the one below and only one SSL module, should i remove the "application ssl" and "advanced-balance ssl" options and just use the port 80 content rule which the ssl proxy lists offloads traffic too and apply the "advanced-balance sticky-srcip-dstport" and "balance leastconn" there ?
content DEVCOM_TCP443_L5
vip address x.x.x.x
application ssl
advanced-balance ssl
protocol tcp
port 443
url "//dev.subdomain.domain.com/*"
add service ssl_module1
active
I have read various forum postings and i read the CSS SSL config guide but the examples all seem to differ in their implementation.
Many thanks
Scott
