Load Balancing Internal Network
I am a novice and I would really appreciate some help.
Here is our predicament We have three different applications which talk to each other using HTTP SOAP requests.
All application have a farm of web servers which is being load balanced by the F5.
Application A and Application B reside on the same network as the F5.
Application X is outside the facility and talks to A and B over the internet through the F5.
This part works fine, X can talk with A or B through F5 and the requests are load balanced.
Our predicament is we are unable to make App A talk to App B through the F5.
We defined a Virtual host in the same subnet and setup the application to route to the virtual host.
We enabled logging and we can see from the F5 Logs that the requests is being redirected to the correct pool. But we do not get any response.
On setting up a network trace on the recipient and sending Server we observed that the HTTP SOAP request is being sent by Application A to F5 but never gets through to Application B.
Is it possible to implement such a solution if so please advice.
