Non-Standard GTM/ LTM failover Query

Hi Bhattman,

 

 

thanks for your reply,

 

 

the scenario you describe sounds very similar to our requirement, but I am not familar with the use of b64encode/b64decode commands in irules. Would this allow us to ensure that a specific group of end users always connect to the same server?

 

 

all of our customers will have a dedicated DNS name, the resultant IP address should always direct connections to the same server. If we fail datacentres the External IP would change, but each customer would in affect have 2 dedicated IP addresses, 1 at each data centre.

 

 

Unless of course there is a way to redirect based on the DNS name in the request? I looked at something similar when we built the system before but it fell over as version 9.4.x of GTM didn't support data groups. However In that instance we had pools of terminal servers so it was simpler, we could write an Irule to say if a DNS name contained an entry in a datagroup, resolve a given virtual server. Can I do anything like that in this scenario?
