Virtual Server availability between LTM and GTM
Hello,
We have a Virtual Server in each of our data centers, let's call it 0.0.0.1, configured in our LTM that only has an iRule as its resource. The iRule takes all requests pointed at 0.0.0.1 and redirects them to a different Virtual Server based on their HTTP referer. For instance, if a user goes to www.example.com, our DNS server points it at 0.0.0.1, and when the request arrives the LTM redirects it to 1.1.1.0. If a user goes to www.anotherexample.com, our DNS server points it 0.0.0.1 and the LTM redirects it to 2.2.2.0.
Since the iRule is processed on first priority, http health checks don't return anything. In our GTM, we've set up a Wide IP pool which includes 0.0.0.1, however the GTM constantly marks the Virtual Server as "Offline" since it can't verify its health (since the IP address isn't reachable). Is there a way to force the GTM to mark the server as "Available" even when the health checks can't reach it?
Thank you for your help!
