Dec 03, 2007Yes this is in place already, the real issue revolves around cached DNS responses by mega proxies. The GTM has a wide IP for each location pool and are balanced using round robin. Each pool has a DNS A record. There are 5 pools at each location and the pools are balanced using least connections.
