Gravatar Hi all.
Interesting interview.
But what if there is a FW between the AS and the DB ? Is it possible to have a example which wan be similar with this architecture and have also an example of the implementation ?
Thanks in advance

Gravatar Unless the app server is not configured to use connection pools but instead opens a unique connection per request the problem are as follows:
1. The app needs to log into a connection so the BIG-IP LTM would need to make 2 or more logon connections per VIP logon to allow the traffic to move in a transparent configuration.
2. Event if you create two or more VIPs that are then configured to use nodes that are in two or more server pools you need to do something to rebalanced the work load after the recovery of a server node. (a three node cluster, one node goes down all the work moves to one of the remaining two nodes, when the failed node is brought back on line unless app boxes kill one of their connection pools the no work would move back to the recovered node.)
