Hello.
 
We have a couple rabbitmq nodes that are setup to be in a cluster. We would like this cluster to be behind a load balancer so we could get to the cluster even if one of them goes down.
Any specifics on how to set this up in F5 would be greatly appreciated.

In my environment we use the 'Performance (Layer 4)' Virtual Server type (most options left defaulted) which is configured with a SNAT pool. This is then directed to a pool with the cluster nodes contained within.

As a health monitor for the pool, we simply look at the WebUI main page, not an ideal monitoring configuration.

Let me know if you have questions.
