Oh Thank you for these links, sir!
I read it and saw the part that it requires the F5 device to have DNS resolver configured. Is this a necessity for the whole function to work properly or just some other features of BOT defense cause it is the practice of our client to disallow any dns lookups from their DMZ server environment? Maybe that is why I got false positives in bot defense?
