1. Enable header hashing for virtual service 80. See Configuring services for a virtual server. Set the following parameter.

­	HTTP SLB 1st = HeaderHash

2. Configure the virtual server for HTTP header hashing. See Configuring a virtual server. Set the following parameters.

3. Set the SLB metric for the real server group. Configuring a real server group. Set the following parameter.
