Load balancing to a domain name vs a pool

Thanks Brian, I appreciate the response...

 

 

Let me clarify my predicament a bit. My problem is that the new cloud provider does data center failover using DNS and therefore will not provide me with a specific IP address that I can define in a pool. Instead, I need some way (via irule) for the LTM to check to see what IP address is currently resolving for the domain name the cloud provider gave us, and then send traffic to that IP address instead of a pool.

 

 

Basically I need the functionality above to replace my current statement "pool cloud_pool" with a rule that obtains an IP address by performing a name lookup and then sends the traffic for the defined URI's to that IP address.

 

 

Does that make sense?

 

 

Thanks,
