Hi Kevin,
Below are the answers to address your query
Will the POST have payload? And if so, do you want to mirror that payload to the server?
Yes, POST will have payload (an xml file) and we need to mirror this.
.
Will all requests be coming in as POSTs?
Yes, all requests come as POST ..we need to include credentials and still pass the payload as HTTP POST itself
.
Can you elaborate on the desired traffic flow?
.
1. Client sends a HTTP POST with xml payload to First External F5 (Internet facing)
Here there is no pool, it redirects to another VIP on a second external F5, So on the 1st External F5e we use HTTP::redirect "https://www.abc.com[HTTP::uri]"
Also we need to add static creds and the POST shall go as a POST (right mow server Sees it becomes a GET, which should not be the case)
.
2. Second External F5 with VIP -
From here it goes to an Internal F5 VIP which is Pool Member here
3. Internal F5 - pool member server
4. Server
