GTM iRule defining external DNS server

Yes, you would enable recursion (beware, note the CERT VU800113 published a couple of weeks ago) and set up forwarders in your bind configuration (GTM->ZoneRunner->Named Configuration)

 

 

   
   options {   
       forward only;   
       forwarders {   
           ns1.internal.company.com;   
           ns2.internal.company.com;   
       };   
       recursion yes;   
   };  
   

 

 

 

 

Hmm, is it possible to configure something like this on the zone level? I am trying to accomplish this by entering the following code within the zone options field:

 

 

 
 type forward; 
 forwarders { 
     internal.dns.server1.com; 
     internal.dns.server2.com; 
 }; 
 

 

 

and of course enabling recursion on in the named.conf file:

 

 

 
 recursion yes; 
 

 

 

Unfortunately, my BIG-IP does not seem to like the "type forward;" statement. When I click on the update button nothing happens (the IE progress bar keeps running until the page times out.)
