F5 GSLB query
Hi not sure where to post this but hope some one can explain
With GSLB the BIG-IP recived a dns request and returns the IP address of the server which the client will connect to.
however say I have a few serperate domain names
www.test.com
aa.test.com
dd.test.com
ftp.test.com
However I only want www.test.com to be loadbalanced. the rest should get resolved normaly to a single address.
I assume waht happens is you ahve you authoritive DNS server for test.com. to answer all other address normaly, but to forward www.test.com on to the BIG-IP device to be resolved. Is this the correct way to set it up.
Also say I have two BIT-IP devices that are remote from each other. but redundent to each other. which device runs the helath monitors? the one local to the servers, or jsut the current active one?
Cheers
