Deploying Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 and the F5 BIG-IP LTM System v9

8. In the Resources section, from the Load Balancing Method list,
choose your preferred load balancing method (different load
balancing methods may yield optimal results for a particular
network).
For this configuration, we recommend selecting Least Connections.
In Least Connections mode, the BIG-IP LTM system passes a new
connection to the node that has the least number of current
connections. Least Connections mode works best in environments
where the servers or other equipment you are load balancing have
similar capabilities. Using Live Communications Server, traffic
from servers to clients is roughly the same on each connection.
9. In the New Members section, you add the Live Communications
Servers to the pool.
a) In the Address box, type the IP address of the Live
Communications Server.
In our example, we type 10.10.10.11.
b) In the Service Port box, type the service number you want to use
for this device, or specify a service by choosing a service name
from the list (for example 5061). In our example, we type 5061,
the port for TLS traffic.
c) Click the Add button to add the member to the list.
d) Repeat steps a-c for each Live Communications Server you want
to add to the pool. In our example, we repeat these steps twice for
the other two Live Communications Servers (10.10.10.12 and
10.10.10.13). See Figure 6.
10. Click the Finished button.
