Transparent load balancing without F5 as a gateway
Hi everybody,
I search if one think is possible.
I have scheme like that :
Client IP ----> F5 VS IP ----> Servers IP
198.18.0.1 ----> 192.0.2.1:3128 ----> 172.16.1.11:3128 and 172.16.1.12:3128
I want that the servers can see the client IP and respond to this passing by the F5 (like in the scheme here).
It is easy for instance and it is the normal working for the F5 load balancing.
But I want to know if we can keep this working if the F5 is not the gateway of the servers. Indeed, I have a network with some servers (and services) which have the normal gateway. But, for some services, I want that the services are load balancing. But I don't want that the F5 is the gateway of the services.
Is there a fonctionality on the F5 which could permit that ? I am not sure so I prefer asking.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Agathe
