Thanks for the tip... but I think our use of the GTM is different enough that we cannot do this. More specifically, we are using the GTM to basically be an LTM that does DNS-based load-balancing. We don't really use the "global" portion of the load-balancer, just the DNS stuff. We do this for one reason only - our LTM was designed to always do SNAT, which in the case of syslog, is a problem since the original SrcIP is lost. RADIUS is an even bigger problem because a SrcIP + RADIUS key is required for authentication of the NAS. Either protocol, the same problem exists. So, we've put the GTM in place of the LTM for cases like these when we want to retain the original SrcIP of the session. So.... with that requirement, is there some kind of best practice for DNS TTLs or some non-SNAT workaround to avoid the issue all-together? Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated
