GTM and IP selection

Don't know if this issue has been addressed in this forum or not but...

 

 

We have an application that is fronted by LTM's in 2 different data centers. Both LTM's are reporting status to the GTM. In the event of a failure (failover) the GTM, of course, hands out 1 IP or the other. My question is, is there a way can we set it up so that the IP that the GTM hands out doesn't change?

 

 

We ave several external clients that cache the IP and then never asks for it again, so in the event of a failover the client application fails.

 

 

We would like the GTM to always hand out the same IP, regardless of which data center is active, so we can get around this issue. Like I said, I don't know if this is possible or not but any help is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin
