That may very well be dependent on which license is installed. Not all licenses will support all persistence classes.

An alternative (straightforward) approach would be to set the "cookie!secure" flag on the "protocol settings" page of the virtual server to "set the secure flag".

I'd keep an eye on the Global -> SSL -> sslConnections in the current activity screen. You could break this down for sslHandshake[SSLv2|SSLv3|TLS1|TLS11|TLS12] and have a look at cache hit/miss for the SessionID too.

It seems that msdn's archives were reorganised slightly. you can now find the ISAPI plugin mentioned at: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david.wang/archive/2005/09/28/howto-isapi-filter-which-logs-original-client-ip-for-load-balanced-iis-servers.aspx

I was wondering if a quick fix with /bin/mail wouldn't help you out? something simple like: #!/usr/bin/bash # For clarity's sake: pick up the command line arguments and make them into something recognisable ALERTNAME=$1 ALERTBODY=$2 # Set the specific subject you want here. (Keep the quotes intact or mail will only use the first word as the subject!) SUBJECT="sms gateway specific subject" [email protected] echo $ALERTBODY | mail -s $SUBJECT $TO Might need a little bit of tuning to do what you intend. Ofcourse perl or whatever language you care for will work too. Antoon

First question always will be: standalone or integrated? If you go for integrated with traffic manager, order the appropriate sku and you're done: the firewall will be enabled on the traffic manager and any traffic you direct through the traffic manager can be sent through the app firewall too. Just enable the app firewall on the virtual server and you're done. (well apart from setting up the filtering rules in the firewall ofcourse). If you choose the standalone app firewall, get at least one of each for a functional solution: 1 enforcer, 1 decider, 1 admin server license and scale to your needs. As for what you'll need: that depends on your web infrastructure. Some require a proxy enforcer, some require a webserver enforcer. hth.

It's comes packaged in 2 forms indeed: integrated with the traffic manager as a stand alone product. In the latter case, it will be your requirements and architectural needs that decide how many of each you'll need. With the integrated package, there's little to discuss and to decide, since it's prepackaged in the traffic manager. Simply put (and I may cut some corners here): an enforcer is installed on your web front ends, either proxy or webserver; depending on what your current architecture is. The enforcer(s) communicate with the decider (or multiple for availability and scalability or any architectural need really) on the rules to apply and enforce. Finally, all administrative actions are done from the admin module(s).

Ofcourse, if you don't really care about the specific xml syntax that comes with ESI, but just want to replace a tag with specific content from elsewhere (either kept on the traffic manager or elsewhere), you can always just insert for instance a HTML comment and replace that with whatever it is you want to put there. In essence that would cover 95% usage of the actual ESIfunctionality. This concept is nicely illustrated in the following article+code: <a target="_self" href="https://community.brocade.com/t5/Code-Samples/Using-TrafficScript-to-add-a-Twitter-feed-to-your-web-site/m-p/24992/highlight/true#M60">Using traffic script to add a twitter feed to your web site</a> . A specific tag is defined, which you then need to include in your page. In turn, traffic manager inserts the twitter feed for you. If you would like to include something from a url that's specified in the original document, consider using the traffic script http.request.get() to make that happen. hth, Antoon

I don't think I'd use crond for this, but tackle the timing side of things in traffic script. See: how to launch a website at 5am and then use request.avoidNode( node ) to temporarily avoid a node. Just wondering what it is that you can't achieve by using the regular health monitoring? Because that normally would fit the bill quite neatly without any traffic scripting. The health check monitors will make sure no requests end up at a server that's disabled, and will automatically discover that the node has recovered.
