send pool member IP to client

Hello everyone,

 

using x-forwarded-for on F5 we can log Client IPs on the webservers, but is the reverse possible? we have a requirement where the client needs to know the IP/webserver name of the pool members they are would connect to. Please advise

    If you use Cookie persistence, and don't encrypt the cookie, you are already sending your client the pool member IP. You could potentially write an iRule and use the HTTP_RESPONSE event to add a new header with the pool member IP as well.
