Hi Aaron,

 

 

The only reason I thought of sending queries directly to GTM so that it can see the original client IP. We do have DNS anycast setup, which is configured for infoblox. I do not want to change anything from Anycast DNS or take over DNS. We had some problem with anycast routing internally and it was only using on IP from globally spread infoblox servers. This made GTM to handover resource for that particular region which was not correct as per the topology. We have resolved that issue by tweaking WAN routing and solved 90% of issues. We are still doing testing. I wanted to know if there is any option like X-Forwerder or something which will somehow preserve the source client IP. Thanks for your response. I will go thru the suggestions.
