Hello Robbie.

You're right when you say the ACE CLI is very
close to mqc, with the massive use of class-map, policy-map and
service-policy (just like a QOS config) but I also find some
inheritance from the CSS era (for example the "set persistance
rebalance" and some other specific commands) :)

About the #2,
yes there are lot of feature disparities between the ACE module and
appliance, OSPF RHI is only one of them. Other are more located within
the SSL processing area

About #3, when using SSL offload, you
make SSL termination so you hide client's informations to the back end
servers. For logging purpose, some applications will have to log some
informations (whole client's certificate or only specific fields) so it
can be inserted into the value on some field in HTTP headers, just like
transmitting the incoming client IP address when using Source NAT (aka
client NAT)

regards,

Surya

point #1, i'd still have to disagree with. that's going to be part and
parcel of almost any load-balancer configuration, regardless of what you
call it. the actual cli is still much closer to ios/mqc than it is to
arrowpoint/webns, no matter the name. examination of 'show run' on the css
vs. the ace illustrates the point pretty well. point #2, i was not aware
that there was feature disparity in that regard between the appliance and
the service module. interesting. point #3, what specific information would
you want to insert? the certificate info/signature that the client is
providing? i must admit ignorance on this part - i've not had much
experience with using client certs in this manner.
