Cross-domain sticky site question
Can the following requirement be implemented using F5? what would be involved? is this straightforward to implement and something commonly done?
Requirement: load balancer server assignment should be sticky across specified domains. I.e. a user should be assigned a single server in a cluster for his entire session regardless of different domain request URLs. The user should be able to make requests on domain1.com and domain2.com and be assigned the same server.
.
We will run into cross domain browser restriction issues for sharing data across domains. But, this will be handled at the Java servlet level using redirects and a master/slave cookie domain and session management process.
I am not familiar with load balancers beyond the basic cluster concepts. I want to make sure that I am not making an outlandish assumption that this can be handled easily by a load balancer.
