Route Domains

I see a very old post on how secure route domains are 

How safe are route domains? | DevCentral

 

I want to understand in this kind of deployment should we be aware of any issues or is it a good idea wrt security to use routedomain for DMZ? If anyone has deployed DMZ in route domain, what issues have you seen? What are the Pros and Cons if GTM is deployed?

  • My answer is simple: Do not use it if you can avoid it. Different F5 Clusters for different zones is usually the best design. Many designs with Route Domains do not require it really because of the "Auto Last Hop" feature enabled by default.
