GTM topology based load balancing question?

Hello, I am using topology based load balancing mode to lb traffic between 2 diff data centers (say NYDC and LADC). Under wideip I create 2 pools (nyc_pool and la_pool). Anyone who uses LA dns will be directed to la_pool and vice verse. My question is lets say if la_pool goes down and any one using LA dns to resolve this wideip will be redirected to nyc_pool? Thank you.

  • You got it. The topology record with the highest weight will take precedence. If it isn't available (in your case the LA pool) then it'll use the other available pool (NYC).
