Hi Matt,

 

 

You can configure a 0.0.0.0:53 virtual server enabled only on the VLAN that the DNS clients are on to pass the traffic through LTM. If you have a pool of gateway servers you want to load balance, you could add them to a gateway pool and use a Performance Layer4 VS with a FastL4 profile. If you just want to use the LTM routing table to send the traffic on, you can use a Forwarding IP VS.

 

 

You can try searching on AskF5 for phrases like "outbound access" or "virtual server types" for more details. The LTM config guide for your version will also have some useful reference material.
