LTM Configuration - Query
Hi All
I have a query regarding the LTM configuration. I have 2 proxy servers in my environment. I would like to loadbalance these 2 server using the BIG IP LTM.
The load balancer are located in the segment 10.10.10.x & it has the virtual IP of 10.10.10.1 The physical servers are located in different segment. The IP Address of the physical servers are 20.20.20.1 & 20.20.20.2.
Would like to chech the following.
1. Is it possible to configure the LB such a way that the virtual IP is from different segment & the physical IP address of the servers are from different segment.
2. Even if it is possible i believe the proxy traffic from the user hits the VIP of the load balancer & then it hits the physical IP & it does the load balancing. But the return traffic from the proxy will not be flowing through the LB.
The traffic will be bypassing the LB & it is sent to the user. In this case if the user again hits the proxy through LB will the LB allows the traffic or will it block it.
To simply it the traffic from the user to proxy flows through the LB but from the proxy to the user the traffic will not be flowing through the LB. Let me know if this can impact the traffic flow
