How to run a satellite server behind an F5 BIG-IP load balancer

Latest response

Hi, folks,

 We'd like to put a front end for our satellite server on our F5 BIG-IP load balancer as satellite.example.com. That virtual server would have a connection pool behind it containing the actual machine, satellite1.host.ualr.edu.

 So what are my options? Can I simply rewrite the URI as it comes in from satellite to satellite1.host? Do I need to generate certificates on satellite1.host that look like they're on satellite? Do I need to do SSL at the load balancer after all? I planned to just pass it through.

 More to the point, how have +you+ made this work?

Thanks,
