Cory, you are right - the support and to what extent you are brushed aside depends on support engineer. I think we are reaching a conclusion here i.e. Disabled named service, disable bind in the dns profile. Thereafter whatever is left is all f5 derived code and it should be supported, which include the bind derivative zonerunner. This has been very helpful.

    On Version 11.5.4, you can disable BIND from GUI. GO to DNS --> Delivery --> Profile, under dns profile, change "Use BIND server on BIG-IP" to be "disabled". then apply this profile to your listener. that would disable the BIND.
