Persistence via Backend Source Port?
Hi. Good day. I would just like to ask for your expert advise. Thank you.
I have a VS with port 8000 facing the users. At the backend, I have 3 servers serving the same application but are on different ports (server1:9001, server2:9002, server3:9003). What I want to do is to configure connection persistence based on the backend server ports. If for example, user1 connects to the app and were redirected to server1:9001, I would like F5 to remember that and have all that user's succeeding connections routed to server1. It should not matter if the user is browsing, streaming or playing online games. I am not sure if I have explained myself properly but please do ask away if anything's unclear.
By the way, persistence by source address is not an option as the users could possibly be NATed to a single IP.
Thank you again.
