How to set up a failover node/pool?
We have a pool that has 2 nodes in it and request are load balance bewteen those 2 nodes. What we want to do is to send request to a failover node/pool if the original nodes/pool go down.
So do we:
1. Add a 3rd node to the pool and configure it somehow to normally use the first 2 nodes and only use the 3 node as a last resort?
2. Do we create a new pool/node and write an iRule to forward the traffic to the failover pool if the primary pool is down?
3. Maybe there is another option I am not aware of?
I thought this would be easy to do, but so far I'm stumped.
Thanks for any help in advance!
