    You can do a redirection irule based on the port hit on the 3rd VS. Or depending on your needs/setup, set the irule to just use different pools based on a condition.

    If a user conneced to crm1.wastpa.com:8080, how would you know which pool they want ? Or if it doesn't matter, then just put those two virtuals (the 8081 and 8082) in a pool, and set the 8080 virtual to use that pool

    IanB, I don't think that approach will work. Article SOL10379 says that the BIG-IP doesn't respond to ARP requests it issues, so a virtual server address that's placed in a pool will never receive traffic.

     

    Depending on the criteria used to determine which of the two target virtual servers should be selected, an iRule could either redirect, select a separate pool, or use the "virtual" command to pick the target of choice.
