ActiveMQ servers behind F5 LTM

Hi

 

I have two ActiveMQ servers. And I want to make a public VS on the frondend LTM. But I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any ideer have to setup an VS ??

 

ideerly it would be nice if it vas a : tcp://"vs-ip":61617 and host the certificate on the loadballancer, and connect to one of the servers on port 61616 (standart ActiveMQ port)...

 

second best : an public ip on a frondend Loadbancer ssl://"vs-ip":61617, and the loadbalancer connects to one of tge ActiveMQ servers on ssl://"server-ip":61617 (cert hostet on the server)

    could you explain what you have done already? provide some config? how is the network setup? in general it doesn't sound very exotic, just some basic load balancing.

    Hi yes I have tried the "normal" way, did not work.. with a tcpdump I could see the conection on the external interface, but the trafic never got to the internal interface. I havr tried with a irule (because there are comming more servers in different partitions, but all hostet by the same external-vs : when HTTP_REQUEST { switch [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { "sub1.domain.com:61616" { pool /Par1/server-sub1-61616 } "sub2.domain.com:61616" { pool /Par2/server-sub2-61616 } default { return } } } this does not work.. (maybe because ActiveMQ is not "http" .. this might help : http://activemq.apache.org/openwire-version-2-specification.html

    ok, that is quite some extra information. your pool members are in different partitions? is it just the partition or are there also route domains involved? can you first start easy and just take two pool members in a pool and with the virtual server all in the same partition?
