AltocumulusQuestion Regarding BIG-IP GSLB Prober Pool Behavior
I'm experiencing an issue with BIG-IP GSLB and would appreciate any insights from the community.
I have two data centers that are part of a synchronization group. Within this group, there's a Prober pool set up with a round-robin strategy, which includes two members: gtm1 and gtm2, each belonging to one of the data centers. A virtual service is referencing this Prober pool.
While analyzing the traffic on gtm1 by capturing packets, I noticed that I'm also able to capture packets sent from gtm2 to the monitor's destination IP in gtm1 device. Is this behavior due to some specific mechanism within BIG-IP GSLB, or it just indicate a misconfiguration in my network setup?
Any advice or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I think you are seeing the prober traffic because you have created a prober pool, by default it will by itself decide which device to choose to do the probing.
