WILD card WIDE IP config on GTM

Hi, we are having requirement to discover some app behind GTM and asked to config individual WIP (like: discover.A.test.com, discover.B.test.con and so on) with same Pool and ports behind.

 

Would like to use wildcard here like:"discover.." or ".discover.test.com" as an single WIP oN GTM,

 

Please let me know whether this is possible, which one will be more flexible and Steps.

 

Thanks in advance. Shri.

    About wildcard characters in wide IP names

    BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager (GTM) supports these wildcard characters in wide IP names and aliases:

    Question mark (?) Use to replace a single character, except a dot (.). Asterisk (*) Use to replace multiple consecutive characters with the exception of dots (.)

    You can use one or more question marks or asterisks, or both question marks and asterisks in a wide IP name or alias. Valid uses of wildcard characters for the wide IP name include:

    ???.mydomain.net
www.??.domain.net
www.my*.net
www.??*.net
www.my*.*
???.my*.*
*.*.net
www.*.??
