Hi Nick,

 

 

At a DNS level, I think you could use the whereis command (Click here) in GTM to check the client/LDNS IP address and answer with the the .co.uk IP for UK clients and the .com IP address for non-UK clients.

 

 

It might be more ideal to also do this check at the VIP level and send an HTTP redirect to UK clients who request the .com VIP and redirect non-UK clients who request the .co.uk VIP. I believe the whereis command will be available in LTM iRules in the upcoming 10.1.0 release.
