GTM Design help
Hi,
I am new to F5 GTM product and would like some design guidence please.
We are planning to purchase two F5 GTM 1600 appliances, one in each data center. We are planning to use GTM to direct ssl web taffic to a juniper sa6500 appliance (sitting in a DMZ), having a active standby setup, so DC1 been the primary site and DC2 being the backup site. The DC's dont have an interconnect so only connected via the WAN.
1. How do the GTM's sync between each other. As it will sit between the internet router and external firewall, do they communicate over the internet or through the internal network?
2. If one of the GTM's were to fail I assume the other GTM would take control and direct traffic to the live DC?
3. Regards to DNS, its a case of registering a domain name, getting an ISP to point NS server for that domin to the GTMs?
Thanks
Jimbo
