title: MQ channel F5 reroute
body: <p>I would like to know if it is possible to point a MQ Sender channel to a F5 Load balancer VIP address, rather than to a concrete MQ Server IP address and have the message delivered to one of two MQ servers in the F5 Cluster resources group. There are two MQ Servers in the F5 cluster.</p>
  
  <p>What I'm trying to do, is determine if I could use this method in lieu of creating a MQ Cluster Gateway Queue manager, on yet more hardware and use the F5 LB feature to deliver the message to a cluster queue. </p>
  
  <p>If I could capitalize on the F5 Load balancing, I'm thinking it would simulate a MQ Cluster Gateway Queue manager. </p>
  
  <p>Would it work? Pitfalls?</p>
