GTM and Topology

Hello Piotr, As your requests will come from the LDNS, maybe the way bellow, solves that issue:

 

GTM Server/VS:

 

server_DC1/vs_name (with some monitor)

 

server_DR1/vs_name (with some monitor)

 

GTM Pool:

 

pool_to_DC1_vs

 

LB preferred: Global Availability

 

Order 0: server_DC1/vs_name

 

Order 1: server_DR1/vs_name

 

pool_to_DR1_vs

 

LB preferred: Global Availability

 

Order 0: server_DR1/vs_name

 

Order 1: server_DC1/vs_name

 

Topology Regions: (IP subnet is)

 

region_DC1 { list of LDNS addresses }

 

region_DR1 { list of LDNS addresses }

 

Topology Records:

 

Region is "region_DC1" then pool "pool_to_DC1_vs"

 

Region is "region_DR1" then pool "pool_to_DR1_vs"

 

WideIP:

 

LB preferred: Topology

 

Pools:

 

pool_to_DC1_vs

 

pool_to_DR1_vs

 

Regarding balance methods, I think even when server as Generic Host, most types still can be used, but in your case, maybe "Topology" and "Global Availbility" types can statisfy your need.

 

This is what I can think for now.

 

Regards.
