Webadvisor servlets

Hello all, I am fairly new to the whole f5 environment and I have taken the classes; but i've come across a design that I just can't seem to figure out. I have 2 websites that I have configured to use the same vip website1.univ.edu and website2.rush.edu, each of these websites go to their own pool on port 80. For website2 it hits it's pool member which is server1 and at that point it should hit another vip for a second ltm either on port 80 or 443. I'm not familiar with creating websites and I'm working with our web group to make sure it is configured correctly, at this point I believe that on server1 there should be something pointing to the new vip. And then once defined the servelets can be defined with the new vip/something/servelet and it should work. I'm not sure how this works or if it makes sense at all, but if anyone has ever worked on something similar any suggestions will help. Thanks.

    I'm not sure I follow. I think this is what you are saying:

     

     

    client (requesting site1) ---- LTM VIP1 ---- pool1 member X

     

     

    client (requesting site2) ---- LTM VIP1 ---- pool2 member (server1) ---- LTM VIP2 ---- backend resource

     

     

    Please clarify your setup and your question and we'd be glad to help.

    dmz -----------------> vip1.rush.edu (which I have an Irule so 2 different websites can access this vip) ----------------> goes to our dmz load balancer -------> sharepoint server

     

    this all through port 80 now from this point on it is port 443 and port 80.

     

    Now sharepoint server --------> vip2.rush.edu ---------> goes to load balancer inside

     

    which goes to server1 or server2.

     

    I think I figured it out, by adding the irule which allows both https and http using one vip. My confusion was also that the websites that are needed to be access are servelets with in a site so it has a trailing forward slash in the address; but it looks like it doesn't really matter because you can still use the vip dns name as long as you also include the forward slash. I hope this makes much more sense.

     

     

    Thanks!
