We are having an issue with a service that is behind an bridge mode ACE. Wireshark traces show evidence of tcp port exhaustion on the servers.
The connections to the 2 VIP (each share the same real servers) are from 2 NATed address (the "clients" are in our DMZ), one of the applications creates quick http gets to retrieve data from a sql server. When looking at the rservers there are a lot of connections that are in a Time_Wait state. The ACE is bridged mode, is it possible to do server-conn reuse on a bridge ace context. If is possible is the PAT requirement facing the real servers still needed.
Thanks,
Joe
