BigIP / iControl / iRules - Java RMI?
Hi All,
Quick question: Can BigIP load balance Java RMI connections using iRules?
Here's the Scenario:
Service Type: Java RMI based.
Server Side: BigIP Managed Service, Weblogic Clustered backends.
Client Side: Weblogic Cluster.
For all non RMI network traffic to the service (http etc) the load balancing on BigIP works well, but for Java RMI traffic the BigIP is only able to load balances the initial connection. The client side backends, once a connection is established, then communicate directly with the server backends so we lose the ability to manipulate the service using iControl.
Is there a way that BigIP can filter these types of connections and force them to communication through BigIP?
Any advice warmly received!
Thanks in advance,
