Do Topology records execute and direct traffic regardless of GSLB pools assigned under a Wide IP?
Hello F5ers,
My question is around Big-IP DNS and how topology records would work in case multiple records match the traffic.
My understanding is Big-IP DNS would not direct client requests to non assigned pools under the WIP regardless of topology record match. I would really appreciate if someone can confirm my understanding or if i'm missing something.
Lets get to it,
I have below setup,
WIPs:
WIP-A assigned with GSLB-Pool-A1 and GSLB-Pool-A2
WIP-B assigned with GSLB-Pool-B1 and GSLB-Pool-B2
Current Topology records:
- If State is Idaho, Pool is GSLB-Pool-A1
- If State is not Idaho, Pool is GSLB-Pool-A2
- If IP subnet is 10.0.0.0/8, Pool is GSLB-Pool-B1
- If IP subnet is not 10.0.0.0/8, Pool is GSLB-Pool-B2
Now,
If a request comes to WIP-A from a user who is in Idaho (State is Idaho) but on their home network (is not 10.0.0.0/8), the topology records would only load balance to pools assigned under the WIP-A right? The request would never hit a pool which is not assigned to the WIP right (in this case GSLB-Pool-B2)?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks
