Hello,

 

"However, PRIVATE_LAN user DNS queries are originated via very few DNS servers and hence loadbalancing is not happening properly. Note: Consider we have enabled GTM persistence. (as per application requirement) If 1000 requests originated from a private LAN, all those DNS requests resolved to single site LTM VIP since DNS persisted."

 

  • Check your TTL's.
  • Make sure your internal DNS servers can all get to the GTM's.
  • Make sure no internal caching server is in play.
  • Make sure your LB Method is Round Robin with no persistence.
  • You could always do an iRule to drop persistence but still load balance if the requesting dns server/s ip equals X.
