Using LTM to load-balance applications in geographically different site
Hi guys
This seems a relatively simple q but i cannot find anything in product manuals to help: To create a pool, does location of the pool members matter? i.e, some of my pool will be in a geographically different site, is LTM sufficient to load-balance as normal to such a pool?
I am aware of GTM and its specific design for traffic managements of sites, but i dont see the value for it in this case. The clients are SMS apps which reside in same site as SMSC servers. Now we have to add new SMSC servers in new site, and the clients simply require single VIP to fwd traffic to.
Pls note, no BIG-IPs in second site since there are no applications in second site.
Hope it's a quick one, grateful for any guidnace.
