Virtual Server HTTP Host + Round Robin

To a Virtual Server is it possible in Load balancing method selecting "HTTP Host" and "Round Robin" at the same time?

As it is now with "HTTP Host" it looks like it uses Static with the 2 Real Servers. HTTP Host.jpg

The purpose of "host" load-balancing is to act as a reverse proxy for multiple webservers.

Host: www.server1.com -> forward to <local server 1>

Host: www.server2.com => forward to <local server 2>

Host: www.serverN.com => forward to <local server N>

(so not really load-balancing)

If your Host headers are the same (as in your screenshot), doing Host-based balancing is pointless. Switch to round-robin or any other desired mode.

Hi
It seems we can use anyone of the load balancing methods for the single VIP object.
Below doc might help you;

The question is, can I combine "HTTP Post" with "Round Robin"?
