Question on GSLB with Gateway and public IPs. How is the GSLB site public IP leveraged? is this the public ADNS IP? We are looking to expand GSLB externally for Gateway. Two external IP addresses nat'd to respective GW VIPs in each Data Center. Do we adjust the GSLB service that represents the GW VIP to reflect the public IP in each Data Center? For example, DC1_GSLB_SVC currently has server name = 10.10.10.10 and public IP = 10.10.10.10; do we modify DC1_GSLB_SVC to server name =10.10.10.10 and public IP = 66.55.44.33 (as example)? This feels like ADNS would respond back with the public GW IP that is up, which is clearly the intent.

The FQDN and Public IP should point to the IP address that send the traffic in to the gateway. The DNS services will need to also be able to access the ADNS service on a different IP address port 53

So, using FQDN as example, if our GW is dummy.example.com has public IP of 66.55.44.33 for DC1 and public IP of 11.22.33.44 in DC2, these IPS are set in the GSLB Service Public IP for the Data Center's respective GSLB GW Server. we would still have the respective ADNS records in each Data Center. Is this accurate?

Seems like it, from a quick glance.

Public IP's are set in the corresponding GSLB Service which are then bound to the GSLB Vserver/Vservers in either A/A or A/P configuration depending on what you want. The ADNS service will be specific to each datacenter. You would create a DNS A record in your public DNS zone adnsdc1.gslb.corp.com / adnsdc2.gslb.corp.com and point them at the public IP's and then NAT that to the private IP of the ADNS service in each DC on port 53
as an example
Also another thing to consider is when you do your DNS delegation the ADNS A records will need to be added as authoritive nameservers

perfect thanks!
