The F5 technicians we work with are very helpful.<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div style="border-top:1px solid #bcbcbc;margin:5px 0px;"></div><span style="font-size:12;font-family:arial;color:#000000;">On 12/12/12, <span>Manish Rane<manishr78@gmail.com></span> wrote:</span><div> </div><div style="font-size:12;font-family:arial;color:#000000;">Hi Folks,<br /><br />Can BIND work as a Global Load Balancer? Or I am keen to know about constructing GTM kindaa stuff which can monitor the health of devices and route away traffic from failed ones by putting lower TTL value? I believe F5 3DNS does the same thing?<br /><br /><hr size="1" /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Please visit <a class="parsedLink" href="https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users" target="_blank">https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users</a> to unsubscribe from this list<br /><br />bind-users mailing list<br /><a class="parsedEmail" href="mailto:bind-users@lists.isc.org" target="_blank">bind-users@lists.isc.org</a><br /><a class="parsedLink" href="https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users" target="_blank">https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users</a><br /></div></div>
