Question on GTM load balancing

Dear All,

 

I'm looking for an approach for my client requirements which I have explained below :

 

Currently, one DNS(wide-ip) is configured on GTM with topology as the load balancing mechanism so that requests from EMEA/US regions are processed by VS1 on LTM1 and APAC by VS2 on LTM2. Needless to say, VS1 and VS2 are configured with their respective location backend servers in pools.

 

However, my clients request is that all requests from US should be processed by VS2 configured on LTM2 instead of current setup wherein they are processed by VS1 on LTM1 as explained above.

 

Can anyone suggest me if its possible to configure such load balancing on GTM or can it be done on LTM level(iRule) keeping transparent on GTM level.

 

Please advice.

 

Br, MSK

    I'm not sure I follow your question.... is this just not a matter of changing your topology rules ?

    Hi lanB, Basically, for all requests coming from US the GTM should resolve the DNS to VS2 configured on LTM2. Not sure how to achieve this via changing topology rules ?? Br, MSK
