GTM - Configuring two listner IPs to resolve external & internal url with same FQDN

Hi,

 

Scenario - We have scenario where we need to use URL with same FQDN in LAN & Internet. This can be done with GTM using single listener IP.

 

Query - Is it possible to achieve this scenario using two listener Ips one for LAN & another for Internet?

    Hi,

     

    what do you need? create 2 listeners for both internal and external users or resolve queries with internal IP if request source is internal?

    Absolutely - I always dual-home my GTMs with internal/external listeners.

     

    You can then use either topology records or iRule (horses for courses) to emulate DNS views. Here is a good link to configuring topology records for split view DNS.

      Thanks for your reply.The document is useful , gives complete insight. It is require to configure topology based on source IPs. Can it be done based on listner IP , instead of source IP ? That is, if request is comming from external listner IP then resolve external pool and if request is comming from internal listner IP then resolve internal pool.

    Hi,

    you can create pool external and internal with the following method:

    • external pool : exchange_pool
    • internal pool : exchange_pool_int (append _int prefix)

    and use the following irule in wide IPs

    when DNS_REQUEST {
  if { [IP::addr [IP::local_addr] equals X.X.X.X] } {
    pool "[DNS::rrname]_int"
  }
}
