Hi Josh,
It would depend on whether an F5 can be made to write the necessary
information into an HTTP header. What I would do to is look at how
Apache populates the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN and SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY headers when
you use it as a Puppet Master front end and see if you can replicate
that on an F5. F5 iRules are quite powerful so I'd say it might be
possible but probably not straight out of the box.
As for a health monitor I'm not sure... Puppet Masters are RESTful so
you might be able to come up with something tricky with that.

Hi,
Is there anyone using BIG-IP to load balance client side connections
to multiple puppet masters? I'm looking for advice on a
configuration, specifically:
* How to handle SSL. Should I try to decrypt client side traffic at
the BIG-IP? If so, should LB<-> BIG-IP traffic be unencrypted via
HTTP? I have seen this scenario described in Pro Puppet. I would
think I would run into problems verifying clients at the PM if I
decrypt at the load balancers.
* How are you deploying health monitors for the PM's?
Thanks,
Josh
