If your application is concurrently hosted in multiple data centers, you may have to use persistence in GTM to ensure consequent requests of a particular end-user are routed to the same data-center. If you only use GTM for DNS, and there is no balancing between the data centers, you should not use persistence in GTM. Use LTM instead.
