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.

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
