Route Domains
- Mar 26, 2026
We have used route domains for many customers at an MSP that I worked for and it always ended up being more of an issue for the customer in the long run. I recommend against using route domains if you can avoid it.
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.

If it is just LTM, Route domains are okay to use? If GTM is involved, it best not to use route domains?
