Load balancing based on file content
Hi All, I've done some reading but I can't seem to find a solution to what I'm trying to achieve. I would like to set up load balancing based on the receive string from a file on a server. My setup is as follows: 2 Servers in a pool, A & B Each server has a file that needs to be queried. If the receive string is "ok" traffic is distributed based on the round robin method. If the receive string from 1 of the servers is changed load balancing is then based on priority group setting, where server A=1 and B=5. Unlike like a health monitor, I need both servers to be able to received traffic, but distributed based on the priority group setting for the server. Somehow this was accomplished on the A10, but I'm having a hard time trying to replicate it on the F5. Any thoughts or suggestions on our I can achieve. Thanks in advance for your help.

The SMTP protocol has been vulnerable to email smuggling for decades. Many of the mail servers out there have mitigations in place to handle this vulnerability but not all of them, especially the quick libraries and add-ons you can find on web sites. Protecting your server from these attacks is simple with F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF and our SMTP Protocol Security profiles.

In all of the documentation I see for setting up a service graph in ACI, it's always between two EPGs. What if the "consumer" or "client" is really going to be external users outside of the fabric that would communicate in via a L3 Out? A L3 Out is not an EPG so how do I load balance between an external network and an EPG?
Load balancer help setup needed
Hi, Im very new to LineRate (discovered it this morning) and I am trying to load balance between 2 Windows 2012 servers with web addresses. Its actually got IBMs Integration Broker on each and they listen on I have set up the Linerate device in our VMware environment. The device and the 2 servers are on the same subnet. I then do an xml POST to each individually and get a timestamp back. Then when I try to post to the Virtual IP I get xml rubbish back. What I cant figure out is I have set the real server addresses and ports to 7800. But how does it know to go to PS all looks good in the gui. All looks online. Any help greatly appreciated... Steve.
