DDos DNS protection on LC & DNS Express

Hi Everyone, I want to know how can I protect the DDos attack on F5 Link controller. I was not able to see any configuration related to that. Also if someone can let me know about DNS Express if they have used it earlier it can be used only with BIND DNS or it can also work with MS DNS?

 

Regards,

    Hi,

     

    There are several features to mitigate some types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

     

    Please check the following links to learn more about it:

    DNS Express

     

    For now, it only works with BIND. The same goes for DNSSEC.
