John,
I've been using it with DNS but as you said, it's not of great help. That's why I'm trying to see if can LoadBalance or shape the traffic in RoundRobin method within LoadBalancer. Since we are trying this in our test environment, can't afford GTM for that.
Points you mentioned as 1, 2, 3 is what exactly I want to replicate inhouse or in my lab. Since I'm trying this in my lab, all my client and server machines were in same subnet. What I meant travelling is, some users working in Chicago office will be accessing server by GlobalIP which will inturn redirect to Local LoadBalancer in chicago based on the region. Same user, when travelled to NewYork or California will be accessing the application by GlobalAddress but at that time, it should route the traffic to Local LoadBalancer in that region and not to Chicago which is user region.
Instead of GTM, I've put two LoadBalancer in my test environment now, where the 2nd one will act as my Global LoadBalancer. In the 2nd one, I've added the 2 VIP from other LoadBalancer as Node and created a GlobalVIP. Added those 2 node in to the Global VIP and set SNAT to AutoMap. Though I'm able to ping all the VIP from my new LoadBalancer (serving as Global), not able to access my webpage VIA Global IP.
I'm not sure on how to proceed further and stuck at this point. I'm trying to replicate some customer issues with this setup and can't work on this till I get this configuration resolved. I appreciate all your help on this
