I know yes and have experienced this behavior that when implementing a DNS+LTM combo when having defined the GTM links with bigip_link monitor and not defined in the LTM gateway pool the links wont come up. So it seems that both of them needs to work together, so I am questioning if it is even possible to seperate LTM and GTM on different F5 devices and having the LTM externally on other words the F5 DNS will not have direct connectivity to the gateways, it can only fetch the link status via the external F5 LTM device.

 

Hope it makes more sense now. I know its a little weird architecture but at this moment I dont have other options to implement this.

 

Thanks
