DNS server loadbalancing

Have a query I am loadbalacing 3 DNS Servers on LTM behind a VIP. The issue is when my windows server queries a public domain it appends my local domain suffixes to it which my public DNS Server does...

Hi Maneesh,
    This is an issue with windows server, to avoid adding local domain by windows add . at the end of fqdn.

    Example instead of using command 
    nslookup yahoo.com
    use command
    nslookup yahoo.com.

Thanks

Syed Nazir

Yep aware of it Nazir is an issue with Windows. Issue is how can I force users to add . in the end. Can we do something via i-rules so that it strips the trailing suffixes ?
