IP Forwarding or Multiple VLANs
Hi,
I have some virtual servers on my external VLAN and a search engine on my internal VLAN, I'm using the search engine to index content on the virtual servers.
I see two ways of doing this...
1. IP Forwarding virtual server on all VLANS for addresses/network of the virtual servers on my external VLAN and SNAT
2. Bind the virtual servers I wish to index on the external AND internal VLAN, use SNAT.
Which of these is preferable? I'm thinking IP forwarding might be a more old school solution, but binding the virtual servers to the internal VLAN would certainly be easier and take advantage of the LTM flexibility, ( I am leaning toward the latter)
Can anyone advise? particularly if one is less secure than the other?
Cheers
J
