...have multiple ISP's with different address space on same GTM box. is is recommded? or should i get another set of GTM's for new platform?

 

 

You can host any combination of names in any combination of address space in the same GTM configuration, the same as you can with any other DNS server. The trick there will be getting good monitoring in place so GTM is handing out a known-good address no matter where the webserver lives. The best monitoring would be performed by a local LTM reporting results to GTM, but there are other monitoring options by which GTM can determine the health of the service.

 

 

(If you have questions about monitoring, you can post over in the Monitoring & Management forum:
