Two VIPs - Same pool?

of course. why not?

yes if traffic can hit vip, bigip can send it to pool member.

Yes it is a right way.... no issues....

Yes. Each IP Address has the ability to be configured as multiple Virtual Servers with a different service port on each.

 

 

Example:

 

vs.example.com.http - IP Address 10.10.10.10 Port 80

 

vs.example.com.https - IP Address 10.10.10.10 Port 443

 

vs.example.com.ssl - IP Address 10.10.10.10 Port 22

 

 

The only caveat is that you cannot have the same IP Address configured on multiple Virtual Servers using the same port.

 

 

Example:

 

vs.www.example1.com.http - IP Address 10.10.10.10 Port 80

 

vs.www.example2.com.http - IP Address 10.10.10.10 Port 80 - INVALID

 

 

You can however have both websites pointed / sharing a single Virtual Server.

 

 

Example:

 

 

www.example1.com to 10.10.10.10

 

www.example2.com to 10.10.10.10

 

 

You could then separate the different website traffic using an iRule.

Yes this can be done.

 

 

This is how I do though. I create different pools(even though they have the same members) with specific pool names which service that particular application. I am doing it this way by choice to conform with the methodologies we follow which makes for easier documentation, etc...
