GTM persistence in proxy environment
Hi,
We have 2 F5 GTM setup in 2 different sites. The purpose of them are to load balance the company's web surfing. In each of the site, we have a dedicated surfing infrastructure (i.e. FWs, internet links, proxy servers) to serve the resilience purpose.
We noticed that the DNS queries will be initiated by the DNS server (not the actual clients). In this case, the persistence setting will not work properly. As a result, if we want to configure our environment using round robin, there will be a chance that a single browsing session from a client will go through different surfing gateway.
Is this a common behaviour and we can only configure our GTM as active-passive?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
