    Remember to uncheck Verify Member Availability when creating pools. Use Round Robin as the
    Preferred load balancing method throughout:
    Add virtual servers
    1. Add a virtual server named london_mail_vs at 200.1.1.10:993 to the BIG-IP LTM server in the
    London data center.
    2. Add a virtual server named singapore_mail_vs at 100.3.1.10:993 to the BIG-IP LTM server in
    the Singapore data center.
    Create two A-type pools
    3. Create an A-type pool named mail1_trainX_pool with member singapore_mail_vs
    (100.3.1.10:993).
    4. Create an A-type pool named mail2_trainX_pool with member london_mail_vs (200.1.10:993).
    Create two A-type wide IPs
    5. Create an A-type wide IP named mail1.trainX.com that load balances using pool
    mail1_trainX_pool.
    6. Create an A-type wide IP named mail2.trainX.com that load balances using pool
    mail2_trainX_pool.

    Create an MX-type pool
    7. Create an MX-type pool named mail_trainX_pool that load balances using wide IPs
    mail1.trainX.com and mail2.trainX.com.

    8. Create an MX-type wide IP named mail.trainX.com that load balances using pool
