Fortigate load balancing
Fortigate recently added support for firewall load balancing. You configure this in almost the same way as you previous added virtual IP to do inbound NAT.
By configuring load balancing you achieve two things:
- Higher performance on your web application by sharing the load among your real web servers.
- High availability as unresponsive or faulty real servers automatically are removed from the server pool when something goes wrong.
Session persistence (that is all load from one user) is handled by inserting a cookie from the firewall to the client.
SSL is also supported, with SSL offloading as a benefit from this.

There are some documentation on the Fortinet web page. If you can't find what you are looking for contact me by mail and I'll try help you.
IS doesn't work, I have 4 tickets open with Fortinet on the 100c 300c and 60c, Non of them work for at all. BTW the 60c won't handle one SIP call, with nothing turned on.
Also 1000c doesn't work.
Fortigate server load balancing doesn't work!
