Loadbalancing URI on same server ?
Hello folks !
I have an unusual request to submit to your skills. I have two web servers running a proprietary solution. For some dark reasons (process loadbalancing, process optimisation...), they both are running two identical websites on same port but different URI. This is as follows:
http://1.2.3.45:8080/toto1.exe
http://1.2.3.45:8080/toto2.exe
http://1.2.3.46:8080/toto1.exe
http://1.2.3.46:8080/toto2.exe
I would like the users to access each of them. So I wrote the following iRule, as I could see in another post (http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&forumid=5&tpage=1&view=topic&postid=6232).
I am actually unable to test this solution. So any help is appreciated. My questions are:
Would this work ?
Is there any way to optimize this ?
How about using a pool ?
And what about client-server affinity ?
Thanks again!
