F5 GTM Pool
Good day to all, I have a relatively simple question (I hope). I would like to give a scenario. We have two LTMs in different data centers with 2 virtual servers configured at each data cente...
GTM is a DNS server, so resolution requests to the GTM do not even include the port - just the fully qualified domain name, which then returns an IP address.
Depending on your use case, you may still want your pool to contain the port 80 virtuals, to cover some situations.
But if you want your GTM responses to only be dependent on the state of the https virtuals, then only include them in the pool - http requests will only go to the servers marked up by the https status.
