I dont quite understand this on several levels....

  • Usually you have services setup as Pool Members and use a singular application VIP. You failover the Pool Members. If you are across 2 datacenters and have LOW latency, you can get away with HA and a traffic group (also assuming you are spanning that network space).
  • The other way would be to use DNS based failover using the GTM/DNS module. You would change the advertisement of the IP address of the VIP or server depending upon automatic health monitored conditions or manually modifying the Pool or failing over a Datacenter.

Both of those VIPs are in the same subnet. Are you performing routing changes to only advertise the 10.0.10.0/24 in one datecenter? If so, why use different IP addresses? Just perform the routing change.
