Config Utility redirect to active unit

Hey devcentral! First post! I wanted to ask around and see if there is a way to configure an Active device redirection for the Config Utility. We have 4 pairs of HA BIG-IPs, so 8 total. It would be awesome if there was a way to redirect an admin's login request to the active unit, regardless of which management IP we start with. Cumbersome at times with so many units finding which one in its particular pair is the active box. Really just a speed and convenience thing. Does something like that exist? Thanks!!

    If you attach to the GUI/CLI via a floating self IP address, you'll have this behavior (minus the redirect).
