I'm looking more for a way to play with how the nat pool I have behaves with IP address use. The NAT config and translations are all working, however I can't find a situation online that shows me how I can force translations to not overload quite so much, or how I can make more IP addresses be used so my load balancing works with sticky sessions set.
For as long as only 1 IP is being used, all connections to the application servers go to one application server. Even with 2 IPs being used, I would have more of a chance of connections going to the 2nd application server to create some load balancing but as I said, I'm sitting on 8500 connections and 1 IP being used. I know in theory I can go up to 65K+ connections on that 1 IP, but I would prefer more like a couple of hundred per IP. The majority of articles I've read show how to configure, say rotary pools or tcp load distribution but not examples of how you can use it another way that I could perhaps, adapt. As I said though, I can't play with the config because its a live environment so its a little harder to play and test with, without a guarantee that it will work :) -----Original Message----- From: The Long and Winding Road [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 9 January 2003 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Load balancing & NAT [7:60663] if you have a CCO customer account, there are a lot of articles in the TAC database this one is a good start, I believe. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note0 9186a0080093fca.shtml watch the wrap.
