Nimbostratus
pleas help me.
I'm traying configure APM portal access, but I dont have any DNS server in DMZ. So I added records into hosts file (by GUI), but the APM doesn't work and in the session log is message "host.name.x.y" cannot be resolved. But ping from CLI works properly.
Do you have any idea please. THX

If you don't get an answer here, I suggest opening a case with F5 Support.

CirrusHello
I have exactly the same problem. Is there any solution?
Thanks
Nimbostratusso this is hanging open.. i have the same problem. so is it that APM does not honor the host file and ONLY references DNS? Beginning to conclude that is the case (unfortunately). Very inconsistent with standard setups.

One option may be to create a DNS virtual server locally, and use iRule to respond.
when DNS_REQUEST {
set ttl 60
set A "[DNS::question name]. $ttl [DNS::question class] [DNS::question type]"
switch [string tolower [DNS::question name]] {
"www1.arsenal.com" {
DNS::answer insert "$A 10.10.10.10"
}
"www2.arsenal.com" {
DNS::answer insert "$A 20.20.20.20"
}
}
DNS::return
}

NimbostratusAnyone know if there is a fix for this other than using the above Virtual/irule combination?
