Million Dollar SNAT question
Ok, here it is. How do I get pool memebers to be able to Snat their address only to the url context requests they are part of. An explanation of this is I have about 10 Web sites with eachin the same url structure lets say xxx.mydomain.com. these individual web servers make call to each others vips and all the web servers are on the same subnet 10.10.10.0/24. The web server in app1 makes a call to the VIP address in app2 which in turn will load balance them to servers on the same subnet as the source address of the server in app1. Once it gets load balanced to one of these servers in app2, sitting on the same subnet as the source IP of the request that is coming from app1, it would try to communicate directly to the server and thus cause an asymetric route or a loop as it were. In my QA I setup a snat pool on the VS to accomplish this and it works, however, there is always a However, this causes problems as now every one in the logs appear as a single snat address. So I would like to snat each individual server with in each of the ten application to it's own snat address so that the logs would show all Internet traffic source IP's and the snat addresses which I can send them a matrix of which server they are.
