DNS Lookup

Playing with the following rule trying to get DNS lookups working. Every time I hit the rule the name::response allways comes back empty. Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Thanks     when HTTP_RE...

So you're calling NAME::lookup fmservices.gss.mycompany.com which has a CNAME of fmservices.ocfo.mycompany.com?

 

 

I don't think NAME::lookup (or RESOLV::lookup) supports cnames. So you'd need to query for fmservices.ocfo.mycompany.com to get the A record for that. I'm not sure why we can't query for CNAMEs. You might open a support case to ask this. If you do, could you post the answer you get?

 

 

Thanks, Aaron
