TCP retry/replay
I am trying to solve a particular problem (Fronting Oracle RAC with the F5 but using SCAN...I've posted on this conundrum before).
Here's my new idea
Client connects. LTM sends that request to a SCAN port.
SCAN responds with redirect to active listener for the service requested.
Instead of returning that redirect response to the client, I resend the original connect message to the
specified listener.
My question is how to do that in an iRule without sending a reset back to to the client for a reconnect. This would be similar to how HTTP::retry would function (at least that's how I see it, I could be totally off base ).
