Load balance with a reverse proxy in front

[dgambrill]

I have a CSS11501 load balancing 2 web servers. We want to use an Aventail in front of it as a reverse proxy, to control access to these servers. How can I ensure that the two servers will be load balanced, and make sure that an end user always hits the same server during his session since the client will always be the Aventail? thanks in advance

Is your proxy spoofing client ip address ?

If yes, nothing special needs to be done.

If not, the problem is to sticky client to the same server.

We can't use sticky srcip because all traffic comes from a single ip.

The only solution is to use cookies.

You can use arrowpoint cookies.

You can find a sample config at :
