My understanding (not a DNS expert) is that I should be able to have the BigIp DNS be the main resolver for all of my internal clients. The BigIP DNS with DNS Express enabled will resolve queries for all of my corporate internal DNS zones. If a internal client requests DNS resolution for a zone that we don't host internally. ie. "google.com" I would assume that the BigIP DNS would need to send that request to a forwarder for an external lookup. I always thought this was called recursion or recursive lookup. I might have my terms mixed up but regardless, I am just trying to get my BigIP DNS boxes to forward those requests to the internal DNS servers for external resolution. Hope I explained it ok. Thanks in advance.
