Hi,
Is it possible that CSM has two client side vlans? The reason why i need to configure 2 client-side vlans is the ip address of the first client-side vlan is running out.
Thanks.

Yes you can definitely use mulitiple client vlans with CSM.
CSM keeps track of the MAC address from where it recieves the flow
and send the reponse from reals back there.
If you define two default gateways then you will face some routing issues. With multiple
gateways defined, CSM randomly picks one gateway. This random selection can hurt you if your reals intiate coonections.
To tackle server initiated connection issue you can use following workaround
vserver Server-side
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 any
vlan 100 <------- server vlan where real exist
serverfarm RealX-out
inservice
serverfarm RealX-out
no nat server
real 192.168.1.1 <---- Gateway that you want to use for this traffic
inservice
Hope it helps

you can also have a router in your first client vlan and put new vlan's behind it.
It's easier to learn 1 mac address [the one of the router] and use it for all clients [the ones behind the router].
If the CSM receives traffic from unknown mac-address it has to do a arp to fill in its arp table first and this take time.
So, if you can put your new client vlan's behind a router.
