Loadbalancing proxies
Could you please suggest f5 configurations such as profiles, Health Monitor to be used to load balance outbound traffic across pair of Bluecoat Proxies. What is needed in f5 to make sure that outbound traffic and return traffic is happening through f5.
My workflow is, Internal users f5 Pair of Forward Bluecoat Proxies Internet
Health Check should be configured to monitor both Bluecoat proxy’s availability and Internet reachability of Bluecoat Proxy. If Bluecoat proxy is down and it is unable to reach internet by its own, then only f5 should be considered that health check is failed. (We have this in our environment, but not sure how it is done. )
Thanks in advance for your support
