Hi
I have a requirement to setup some sort of failover with regards to a web filter server. We have 2 web filters which are setup to load-balance for any http traffic to any web site. However some web sites don' respond well to this and so we have an entry like the following:
content test
vip address x.x.x.x
add service web1
protocol tcp
port 8002
url *//*.bbc.com/*"
active
Other rule is:
content All
vip address *.*.*.*
add service web1
add service web2
protocol tcp
port 8002
url "/*"
active
So when the service to web1 goes down then any traffic going to http://www.bbc.com fails and we have to manually put the other server 'web2'in the content test.
There must be a better way to do this, anyone any ideas?
Cheers
James

Hello,
Not sure I understand your problem, but here is what I think you could do.
I assume you want to have only web1 as being used for loadbalancing for your content test, and only have web2 active when web1 is unavailable.
You can configure web2 as a sorryserver.
add this in you content test:
primarySorryServer web2
This will make web2 kickin from the moment web1 is down.
