Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the slow reply. Since my reply I've been reading the pdfs for the GTM I've started readying the "Big-IP Global Traffic Manager and Big-IP Link controller: Implementations" to get an idea how I want to setup the F5s but this is not going to well, currently trying to work out if I have an F5 at each site is it required that they are setup as a redundant pair?
The client will have a unique address range, the range is still to be decided but it might need to be nat'd if the address ranges clash.
Thanks,
Dc.
Definitely something you might want to work with a local F5 SE on. My understanding is that GTM is commonly deployed without redundant pairs since it leverages DNS which will retry namesevers on its own.
Are you fronting the Webservers with LTM or some sort of other load balancer? As you brought up LinkController, is that something you're also looking at?
No biggie on the NATs, as long as those are at least unique. :-P
