Hello Jennifer,

Thank your for the great explanation.

We have the same scenario you assumed. However, LTMs are working in a bridged mode n each site without SNAT or PBR. (Backend Zone)

"

  • Independent Active/Standby HA pair of BIG-IP LTMs is deployed in routed mode (L3) in each data center.
  • Standalone BIG-IP DNS is deployed, which means DNS module and LTM module are deployed separately on individual BIG-IP devices.
  • BIG-IP DNSs are deployed in the same DNS synchronization group
