Best possible way to avoid creating large number of pools and virtual servers

Hi Kar,

the most important question for me would be, if all your different pool instances require a dedicated monitor. Means if one port is down, does this mean that all other ports on this server are also down or is each port using a dedicated process?

If all ports can use the same monitor then it's pretty easy. Just create a wildcard VS as mentioned from Michael and also just one wildcard pool. When using "* All Ports" for the VS the "Port Translation" option will automatically be disabled. On top of the VS just assign a basic iRule, which checks the destination port and only allows those, which are mention in a DGL. This works fine and we have such scenario already in use.

Ciao Stefan :)
