connection mirroring with SSL
Is there anyway to mirror SSL connections to a standby unit so that established connections will remain after a failover?
From the BIGIP Network Systems Mgt guide it would appear not:
You cannot mirror Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections.
...connections are dropped when an active unit becomes unavailable, unless you have enabled connection mirroring.
The connection mirroring feature on the BIG-IP system duplicates a unit’s state (that is, real-time connection and persistence information) on the peer unit. When connection mirroring is enabled, failover can be so seamless that file transfers can proceed uninterrupted and your servers can generally continue with whatever they were doing at the time of failover.
