http redirect load balacing based on pool member health with session persistence
I have a customer that wants to load balancing cisco finesse agent desktop. The app itself isn't capable of being load balanced and they simply want to use the F5 as an intelligent redirector that points to server that: 1) load balances redirects sent to users between active servers in the pool 2) maintains session persistence and always routes that user to the same server unless it's offline
I've setup a VIP with the appropriate pool members and setup layer 7 health checks that will determine pool member availability. I'm struggling with how to perform all these funcitons via an irule that checks pool health, load balances to active members all while maintaining session persistence.
I've came across the posts that will check the pool health using active_members or even active_members -list, but not sure how to incorporate that into my requirements.
Thoughts/Code examples are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
