NimbostratusSRV record response to contain different priority response everytime
Hello Experts, I have following setup for SRV record This is hosted as WideIP: _collab-edge.tls_.xyz.com Based on topology records this is taking me to a nearest possible region. I...
Hi,
I think you can work with weight values ​​in topology records to achieve your expectations.
Is it possible to summarize the records for each data center and balance the load? Otherwise, it may be necessary to create an SRV pool to assign a high priority member to each member in the datacenter.
In a given scenario:
DC/Server:
DC_AMS
vs_srv_ams1 10.10.0.1
vs_srv_ams2 10.10.0.2
vs_srv_ams3 10.10.0.3
DC_FRA
vs_srv_fra1 10.20.0.1
vs_srv_fra2 10.20.0.2
vs_srv_fra3 10.20.0.3
DC_USA
vs_srv_usa1 10.30.0.1
vs_srv_usa2 10.30.0.2
vs_srv_usa3 10.30.0.3
Pool:
A pool_abcamsterdam.xyz.com
vs_srv_ams1
vs_srv_ams2
vs_srv_ams3
A pool_abcfrance.xyz.com
vs_srv_fra1
vs_srv_fra2
vs_srv_fra3
A pool_abcusa.xyz.com
vs_srv_usa1
vs_srv_usa2
vs_srv_usa3

It's just a possibility to deploy.
You can play with weight and maximum answers to reach other as well.
Let me know if it solves to you.

NimbostratusThank you sharing the suggestion.
All Data centers are remote and for them I just have respective FQDN and IP for which we are authoritative in GTM. Apart from that, there is no more visibility. Record summarization is a little challenging but I will explore this.
My concern is that I have at-least 3-4 IPs/clusters in every region. In every region when queried there should be only entry from that region in response and in every subsequent DNS SRV responses they should also change like if I go via this logic that you have mentioned

In every pool I need to provide at-least one more entry from each region like:
SRV pool_AMS_collab-edge.tls_.xyz.com

Now, when any user queries for Amsterdam then logic will take it to Amsterdam pool. Now from that pool I need only ONE amsterdam FQDN response in the SRV response out of 2 responses. Plus, in next query it should also utilize the other amsterdam FQDN in response.
Let me know if this clarifies my request a little more OR feel free to revert if I haven't understood your solution properly.
Thanks again for all the help.

NacreousYep, think I got it before.
The cost is to replicate objects. For each number, one pool member as high priority.

I particularly don't like this approach :/
I can't see other best option then my first post.
Do It works for you?
Best regards.
