GTM and Topology
Hi,
I am quite new to DNS/GTM stuff so I had no chance yet to dig into how Topology LB works and what can be done.
Wonder if such configuration is possible:
Setup:
- Two DC - DC1 and DR1
- LDNS in each DC sending request to GTM (LDNS_DC1, LDNS_DR1)
- Servers in each DC - defined as Generic Host
- GTM serwing one Wide IP pointing to Servers in both DC
I would like to achieve this result:
When LDNS_DC1 sends request logic is:
- If there is any Srv active in DC1 return IP of any (based on RR)
- If there is no active Srv in DC1 return IP of any active Srv in DR1 (based on RR)
When LDNS_DR1 sends request logic is:
- If there is any Srv active in DR1 return IP of any (based on RR)
- If there is no active Srv in DR1 return IP of any active Srv in DC1 (based on RR)
So depending on which LDNS issued request logic is switched around.
Is that possible without iRule using just LB available at Wide IP and Pool level?
Side question: Which LB methods will work at all for Generic Host? I guess in this case all is based on analyzing communication between LDNS and GTM (no data that is provided when BIG-IP type of server is used)
