Hi Cliff Galiher;<br />
<br />
Thank you for your reply. So lets say that I have a CB farm, SH farm, Webaccess farm and a GW farm, both the WA &amp;&nbsp;GW farms are in the DMZ, and the rest are internal. I believe that I will need a VIP for each farm for load balancing purposes on the F5, correct?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Hi All;<br />
<br />
I created a pilot RDS 2012 R2 environment with 5 servers. we are using F5 for load balancing.<br />
<br />
We have the Webaccess and the GW in the DMZ, and the CB, SH and Licensing servers on the internal LAN &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We have 2 firewalls, External, DMZ, Internal, as well as 2 External F5, and 2 Internal.<br />
<br />
RDS is working fine, but I have a question, We have a VIP for the SH and another VIP for the CB, when I connect internally or externally, I see that the traffic is going to the CB VIP and then to the SH server's IP address instead of the SH VIP!<br />
<br />
Is this a normal behavior? Shouldn't the connection go to the CB VIP and then to the SH VIP and then the F5 should forward the request to the SH server's IP?<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thanks you.
