Guidelines for pointing to one web server with many Virtual Sites

Honestly, I don't think there's a need to overcomplicate the architecture unless there are requirements I'm missing. A config like the following should work, and I've seen this done with sharepoint farms:

 

 

1. Single VIP on the F5

 

2. A single pool with your apache server(s)

 

3. If SSL is required, you'll want a wildcard cert for *.grantham.edu. If you're licensed for it you might consider offloading the SSL at the F5.

 

 

No iRule is required for this configuration, it's pretty basic.

 

 

Hope that helps,
