NimbostratusGTM Setup question with HA design
Wanted to reach out for a design and setup question.
We have normally setup standalone GTMs in each datacenter.
We normally have something like this:

this depends on your business need.
1. If you want GTM listener be sort of active-standby then you create any listener IP and this IP will become part of traffic-group-1. DNS traffic in that case will be sent to currently active box. However, from GTM perspective of view you still have two GTMs, since GTM can not be active or standby by nature. It can be primary or secondary but always active. If you use build-in BIND, such type of config will not work for you, since BIND will listen on non-floating self-ip only.
2) You can crate two gtms - one per LTM, using non-floating self-ip
3) you can create gtm on one of the LTMs.
