[f-nsp] Health Check - Unbound Port

[Oliver Adam]

I guess you do have another port bound to the virtual server - something like:

port 1234 of the real server is bound to the virtual server but you 
would like to base the real servers health at a health check which is 
getting done to port 80 of the real server - correct?

If so: The ServerIron offers port-policies and healthck's to do 
something like this:

healthck:

healthck myhck tcp
   dest-ip 1.2.3.4
   port http
   protocol http
   protocol http url "GET /something.html"
   interval 6
   retries 2
   l7-check

server real test 1.2.3.4
  port 1234
  port 1234 healthck myhck

server virtual whatever 5.6.7.8
   port 1234
   bind 1234 test 1234


port-policies are slightly different:

server port 1235
  tcp

server port-policy mpp
   port http
   protocol http
   protocol http url "GET /whatever.html"
   keepalive-interval 6

server real test 1.2.3.4
  port 1235
  port 1235 use-port-policy mpp

server virtual whatever 5.6.7.8
   port 1235
   bind 1235 test 1235

You do not have to define a destination IP in a port-policy which 
allow it to reuse port-policies. Healtck's do require an IP address 
and you need to define a single healthck per real server which is 
some more work but more flexible.
