We have a fully redundant DMS with three redundant pairs of DMAs. The DMAs are in different physical sites so we cannot share a VIP between them.
We are planning to load balance the entire system across a single F5. We are wondering how the F5 will know which DMA is currently active for each pair.
Hi Richard,
A shared hostname is a possibility in case a virtual IP is not possible.
Unfortunately we have recently detected some issues with this and we are working on fixes for them. There's no release version known yet for the fixes, but if I don't forget I'll add a comment when it's released.
More on shared hostname in our documentation.
