using a single CSS to load balance multiple services

Is it possible to use a single CSS to load balance 3 different services (server farm) ? That mean the CSS need to advertise 3 VIP

I'm thinking of two scenarios:

1 - configure the CSS to use 4 interfaces: 1 to public, 3 to private (each interface will plug-in to a different vlan/server farm)

2 - configure the CSS to use 2 interfaces: 1 to public, 1 to private (all 3 server farms are in the same vlan)

Will both scenarios work ?

Thanks

Hi Phillip,

both scenarios will work. One CSS can certainly manage more than 3 services! You can even use just one VIP for all traffic, then just create the proper rules to send specific traffic to the corresponding service(s). No need for 3 VIPs.

Juerg,

Thank you very much for the reply. I thought they would work, but I don't have a CSS in the lab to confirm.
