Hi!

Never heard or read of any limitations. Out of curiosity, why do you use so many traffic groups?

I think the person who balancers implement contemplate the possibility that at some point balancers estubieran active - active, but never used that way. But I have the exact reason why I made ​​the point is I need to make the implementation of a new service to a new address that is not configured.

Ok, I can't see any reasons for F5 to limit the amount of traffic groups. You can most likely continue with your thing.
Although from a design perspective I'd generally not recommend it as it becomes a bit harder to troubleshoot (especially considering that you don't even use active active).

In regards to active/active, in case you would use it for the performance, which essentially in manycases would mean that one load balancer is not enough a hardware failure could bring the whole house down (unless you have an additional stand by device in the cluster as well).

Just my two cents.

This is in your case?
-------Note: A Sync-Failover device group can support a maximum of 15 traffic groups.
