Pools with Members that are Reachable with Different Physical Interfaces

Hi,

 

 

I would like to have a setup depicted in the attached diagram.

 

  • There will be 1 virtual server serving all the incoming requests
  • There will be iRule to decide which pool is select to serve the requests
  • There will be 2 pools with different members
  • The members on each pools are on different IP subnets and only reachable via different physical ports on Big-IP.

Is this configuration possible? If not, what is the best alternative?

 

The idea behind this is I would like to have 1 pool for live/production traffic and 1 for testing. The production servers and test servers are on different networks, and they are only reachable via different ports on Big-IP.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Yes it is possible. The BIG-IP doesn't really care what the underlying infrastructure is client or server-side. Every Pool Member could be in different IP subnet ten hops away, it wouldn't matter.
