    The options need to be used as per business needs.

     

    1. If you need to use intelligent DNS resolution then GSLB is the option.
    2. If you do not need to use intelligent resolution then BIND managed via zone runner maybe the option, but using BIND will reduce system performance since it is single core daemon. It is better to merge them with DNS Express for faster performance.
    3. If you are going to use external DNS servers and big-ip is going to be as a resolver cache, then DNS cache is your option.

    You need to find out what exactly do you need. I would recommend you to go through manuals 1st, to know more about asking features. You need to know that these features can do and then you can find answers. Please go to askf5.com to find related manuals
