Hi Itamar,

 

Even w/o the irule if you have the LTM listed as a server in the GTM the virtual will fail and stop DNS resolution once all the members of the pool are down. Clients who are already connected will remain connected until they are disconnected.

 

 

What i am trying to get at is if LTM is already added to the GTM, the LTM will communicate to the GTM that the virtual failed w/o the need for an irule or a special health check - that is ofcourse of you want the VS to fail when ALL members fail.

 

 

 

Thanks,
