Processing Efficiency of multiple HTTP Class Profiles
All of our HTTP applications are deployed with a standard page that is used to determine whether the app is considered up or down. Let's say the path to the page is /status/status.html.
In terms of LTM processing, is it more efficient to configure a single HTTP Class Profile to allow requests for /status/status.html, and apply that single profile to each Virtual Server? Or is it more efficient to build this as part of a custom class profile which will be built for each app?
From an ASM-management standpoint, it is obvious that the most efficient approach is building a single HTTP class and apply it to each VS. Another factor to consider is that each HTTP app has its own VS, and we have hundreds of VS on each of our LTM pairs.
