GTM Load Balancing between VS and CNAME

Jason, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the powers that be have forced me to leave it as a manual step.

 

 

I've implemented what seems to be the simplest solution by creating a CNAME pool along with the VS pool and, using Global Availability, ordering the pools accordingly.

 

Originally I just created a simple iRule that I could add and remove,

 

 

when DNS_REQUEST {

 

cname "url.example.net"

 

ttl 300

 

}

 

 

but it was just an extra thing to confuse the "operators" doing day to day DNS management.
