GTM Pool for external proxy site

We use an external proxy provider; we experience severe latency on a fairly regular basis. I would like to create a GTM pool with each individual proxy site as members in the pool, I would like to run a GTM monitor to each proxy site to measure latency and/or availability.

 

1.1.1.1 - Site 1 = 120ms 2.2.2.2 - Site 2 = 60ms 3.3.3.3 - Site 3 = 88ms

 

etc., I would like for the GTM monitor to measure the latency to each site and make load balancing decisions based on the latency/availability of each site. In the above example I would like for all requests to get sent to Site 2 (lowest latency). I have never done anything like this before; I though maybe using a script GTM monitor that calls some file referenced in the iFile list but am unsure on exactly what I would need to do. If anyone has any knowledge or experience with this type of setup your insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you, Damon

    It's Greg, Scott talked to me earlier I am looking into this for you. I have a post out on Hive our internal intranet site. I will try and find you and answer. In the meantime, lets see if anyone on DevCentral can be of assistance. Thanks, WWTBIGIP
