Persistence Across Pools/Services

Hello!!

 

First of all, sorry for my English...

 

I've got to configure a F5 LTM v9.4.8 for a customer. The idea is to create an only virtual server with HTTPS service. Depending on the URI, the requests will be redirected to two pools, JBOSS one (port 8080) and Apache one (port 80). The nodes' IP's are the same for both pools, but the members obviously aren't. For this, I'll use ProxyPass iRule. I've used it before in another customer and it works fine.

 

My question is about persistence. I think the best option here is source address persistence, but I'd like that the persistence works between both port's, that is, if client A does a request to an Apache content, and after that, it links a page of JBOSS service, this second request stays in the same node. Will it work using Match Across Services option?

 

I've read through the post and I've found two contradictory statements:

 

 

1.

 

Match Across Services

 

The Match Across Services option is used in the following two configurations:

 

* Configurations that have multiple virtual servers with the same IP address but have different services specified

 

* Configurations that have pool members sharing the same address but have different services specified

 

 

According to this, it'd work. But I found this in another forum:

 

 

 

2.

 

You can only persist across virtuals/services if the pool members are the same in both cases (IP+port must match). Otherwise the system cannot find the "same" pool member in each pool.

 

 

 

Which one is the correct statement in my case?

 

 

Thank you very much.
