Discovery of failover peer using iControl

Hi,     I'd like to be able to discover a failover peer for an active-active or active-standby pair of LTMs using iControl. From what I can tell there is no good way to do this currently. ...

OK. Use iControl (v10.1) and grab bigip_base.conf via the download_configuration() call (Under System.ConfigSync). Then parse the file for the management peer statement which looks like 

failover {
   peer mgmt addr 172.16.158.3
   unicast peer one {
         dest addr 10.0.0.2
         port 3066
         source addr 10.0.0.1
      }
}

Oh. This does relie on network failover being configured of course...
