NimbostratusF5 DNS with cPanel Web Hosting Server
Hi,
We have a publicly accessible web hosting server backed by cPanel and currently we are using F5 to handle our DNS.
The problem that we are facing is when one of our end customer adds a Zone /DNS record INSIDE his cPanel account and everytime we have to manually check and add those records in F5 to make things work.
Is there a solution for this?.

An example messing around with the python bigsuds library:
b = bigsuds.BIGIP(hostname='ltm3.test.local') rrs = b.Management.ResourceRecord.get_rrs([{'view_name': 'external', 'zone_name': 'test.local.'}]) for rr in rrs[0]: print(rr) test.local. 500 IN SOA ltm3.test.local. hostmaster.ltm3.test.local. 2021091401 10800 3600 604800 60 test.local. 0 IN NS ltm3.test.local. test.local. 3600 IN CAA 0 issue test.local test.local. 3600 IN CAA 0 issuewild test.local gslb_test.test.local. 0 IN A 192.168.102.40 ltm3.test.local. 0 IN A 127.0.0.1 w3.test.local. 3600 IN A 10.0.0.102 www.test.local. 0 IN A 10.0.0.101 b.Management.ResourceRecord.add_a(view_zones = [{'view_name': 'external', 'zone_name': 'test.local.'}], a_records = [[{'domain_name': 'w4.test.local.', 'ip_address': '10.0.0.104', 'ttl': 3600}]], sync_ptrs = [0]) rrs = b.Management.ResourceRecord.get_rrs([{'view_name': 'external', 'zone_name': 'test.local.'}]) for rr in rrs[0]: print(rr) test.local. 500 IN SOA ltm3.test.local. hostmaster.ltm3.test.local. 2021091402 10800 3600 604800 60 test.local. 0 IN NS ltm3.test.local. test.local. 3600 IN CAA 0 issue test.local test.local. 3600 IN CAA 0 issuewild test.local gslb_test.test.local. 0 IN A 192.168.102.40 ltm3.test.local. 0 IN A 127.0.0.1 w3.test.local. 3600 IN A 10.0.0.102 w4.test.local. 3600 IN A 10.0.0.104 www.test.local. 0 IN A 10.0.0.101

Hello, we have been fighting with cPanel in a L3 configuration of F5 as the vendor for cPanel says that it does not support using a load balancer. Is this for L2 inline only, or could this also work with cPanel as L3, on-a-stick deployment of F5?
