DNS query
we are making a service call to an external vendor.. but internally, we are masking it with an internal URL.. so essentially, abc.mydomain.com:8080/service/getinfo needs to end up at soap.vendor.com:8080/service/getinfo.. i got the following irule but keeping getting a weird ARP error.. (arp who-has f5-dns.mydomain.com tell 10.10.10.10)(self ip)
- nitassEmployeehave you configured default gateway on bigip?
- AngryCat_52750Nimbostratusso i tried the following -
- nitassEmployeecan you post the virtual server and routing configuration?
- AngryCat_52750Nimbostratusltm virtual vs_PAS_DEV {
- nitassEmployeewhat is soap.vendor.com ip address? it is not in connected subnet, is it? if so, how can bigip reach it without having static route?
- AngryCat_52750NimbostratusSo once the bigIP resolves the name to an address, I am going to need a default route our some kind of route to point that traffic out.. That makes sense.. I guess my problem is that the bigip isn't resolving my soap.vendor.com address.. :(
- nitassEmployeeI guess my problem is that the bigip isn't resolving my soap.vendor.com address.. you may put some log command to see the RESOLV::lookup result.
- AngryCat_52750Nimbostratusso i tried the dns server directly instead of the vs_dns and that was able to resolve the name to an ip..
- AngryCat_52750Nimbostratusbtw you have been very helpful!! to a newb like me this is a good learning experience.. thanks :)
- nitassEmployeenow i have to figure out why the request is being sent to the ip adn not IP/URI...
