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

Adminhi Amr_Ali, I'd recommend reading the implementations manual here to get an idea of how you want to proceed. Ultimately, you need an authoritative server to respond to queries of all types. If you are using a wideIP to respond, it is assumed you have other servers that the wideIP will select to respond to those queries.
