Hey Kevin,

 

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was worried about. We could point the requests to another site at the LTM level, but we need to keep the site name intact. Think googlebot crawling a site. We want to keep the www.mydomain.com results. I know we could do it with a pool of servers in the same datacenter on the LTM, but that would require building out a couple more servers and keeping them in sync with the primary pool. Since we already do that with our standby site in the other datacenter, I was just looking for a way to get some use out of the otherwise under-used servers.

 

Thanks again for confirming.
