VS with another VS as Pool
Hello,
Just wanted to understand why a particular scenario I am testing is not working.
We have a F5 with a single Route Domain (0) and two VLANs (external and internal, self and float IPs for each). Routes are like this:
0.0.0.0/0 towards external network
RFC1918-NETs towards internal network
For some applications, we would like to do something like this:
VS-External -> Pool-External (VS-Internal member)
VS-Internal -> Pool-Internal (Backend server)
This is not working. When doing tcpdump, we see that after the client connection is accepted by VS-External, the internal self-IP is ARPing for the VS-Internal MAC Address.
First of all, is this supposed to work? If not, why (from a theorical point of view) ?
