CSM - Is it possible to have the vserver (VIP) IP in a different subnet range than the real IP addresses in the serverfarm that is bound to it?
In other words, as an example a typical bridge configuration is like this:
vlan 221 client
ip address 10.20.220.2 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.20.220.1
!
vlan 220 server
ip address 10.20.220.2 255.255.255.0
<<<<<<<<<<<<Two VLANs with the same IP address are bridged together>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
serverfarm WEBFARM
nat server
no nat client
real 10.20.220.10
inservice
real 10.20.220.20
inservice
!
vserver WEB
virtual 10.20.220.100 tcp www
serverfarm WEBFARM
persistent rebalance
inservice

Is it possible to do something like this:
==================================================================================
vlan 221 client
ip address 10.20.220.2 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.20.220.1
!
vlan 220 server
ip address 10.20.220.2 255.255.255.0
<<<<<<<<<<<<Two VLANs with the same IP address are bridged together>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
serverfarm WEBFARM
nat server
no nat client
real 10.20.220.10
inservice
real 10.20.220.20
inservice
!
vserver WEB
virtual 50.40.220.99 tcp www <<<<<<<<<< Place the IP address in a different subnet than the IP's in the serverfarm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
serverfarm WEBFARM
persistent rebalance
inservice
<<<<<<<<On the MSFC place a static route to route the 50.40.220.99 address towards the CSM IP on vlan 221>>>>>>>>>.
ip route 50.40.220.99 255.255.255.255 10.20.220.2
Please if somebody knows if this is or is not possible it would be highly appreciated to hear your feedback.
