DMZ/Public facing GTM deployment assistance

Has anyone deployed GTM for public facing applications which are in DMZ (NATed). I am in the middle of deployment and confused with the way GTM works.     Local Data Center   Scenario ...

TM will talk to LTM and GTM at remote Data center.

 

1. .What IP address do I need to use for GTM and LTM (public or private)? I can reach the systems using private IP over the WAN.

 

A: Again you can use private IP address

 

 

I have some concern using Private IP. Assume a case where GTM's in DC A and DC B are talking over WAN and responsible for public facing DNS. If the Internet link for DC A goes down, DC B can still reach DC A over the WAN and assume that the app is UP (say on LTM). Dont you think that is the problem? I am thinking of using public ip for LTM addition along with translation IP. If I use public IP with private translation ip, what IP will be used for polling/probing?

I am also having the same issue. Where GTM is behind FW and Servers are configured as Generic host, as we don't have LTM in place. However Health monitor is showing Down when using the Real IP as Public Rout able IP : (i.e. 200.220.220.220) and Translated IP is Private IP address (10.100.100.100). Please suggest what all configuration needs to be done so that GTM should show Server is UP.
