Hi,

do you mean big-ip dns (new name of GTM (from version 9.X to 11.X), which was new name of 3DNS (before version 9.X))

Yes, you can use tcpdump with command:

tcpdump -nni any -s0 -A udp port 53 and host X.X.X.X

this will capture

  • on any interfaces (-i any)
  • without resolving host and port (-nn)
  • full packet and not only headers (-s0)
  • display on terminal out the packet content (-A)
  • with filter 
    udp port 53 and host X.X.X.X
