Adding x2 SCA2 to current x2 CSS active:active setup

Current setup is x2 CSS11051 which works in an active:active configuration (one customer busines are on each but with mutual failover over multiple vlans).

Requirement is to add x2 SCA2's 11000 for SSL offloading. From the documentation I think that the the best configuration will be one-armed transparent proxy. I need to confirm a couple a couple of things:

- that it is possible to load balance to the SCA devices (and allow for the failure of one SCA and with no discernable disruption to service).

- is it okay to post the config so someone to scan through to check the setup for i/ load balancing to the SCA and then ii/ subsequent load balancing to the web servers.

- why separate vlans are needed for each SCA ?

A colleaque of mine is favouring having an SCA aligned to a CSS and in the event of an SCA failure that the second CSS senses this and fails over. Not sure if this is possible, I personally favour one-armed transparent approach.

Any recommendations would be great, I just cant see resiliant CSS's and SCA's examples documented anywhere.

The document below shows a sample configuration for one-armed proxy setup using a CSS and SCA.

This is the most scalable configuration, and is easy to troubleshoot.

You will find documents on load balancing at the following url.

SEe figure B6 in the example above.

This is an example with multiple SCA.

I confirmed you need separate vlan for this setup to work - however I can't find the explanation anymore.

You can post your configs if you want, I'll review them.
