Configuration DNS Resolver for Web Scraping

In order to configure the WebScraping, F5 asks to configure the DNS resolver.   Can you explain to me what it is? And can you give me an example of configuration?   Tank's in advance.

stboiss, webscraping uses a DNS resolver to verfiy DNS entries of known, good bots, if I recall correctly.

 

You would need to add a DNS server that the F5 BIG-IP device can reach so it can query DNS requests. See the following solution Configuring a DNS Resolver

 

Hope this helps,
