3dns/gtm and ltm question
hi
sorry if this question sounds a little basic... i have actually been on the gtm v9x training course back in june but this is my first attempt at a basic gtm config and i would appreciate any tips and advice on best practice etc if possible...
we have 2 datacentres with a v9 ltm in each which we use for load balancing our web sites. my manager wants a solution whereby we can 'flick a switch' and all traffic will be diverted to a basic web page at the other datacentre in case of emergency i.e. a basic message informing users we have a problem and we're working on it
DATACENTRE 1
contains a ltm unit and our main web services
(this will be where we would like the switch to be)
DATACENTRE 2
contains an ltm and a 3dns
DATACENTRE 3
an old datacentre which we no longer host any services at, but it does contain a 3dns only
all datacentres have good links between them
as you can see, although the end goal appears to be quite simple, the setup is a bit more tricky because we only have 3dns units and they're not located in the same datacentres as the ltm units
does anyone have any opinions on the best way to go?
thanks
