DNS resolve - hosts file

Hello

I have exactly the same problem. Is there any solution?

Thanks

so 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.

Currently host file not supported.

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
}

        }
    }
    DNS::return
}

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