We are currently implementing a solution in Azure and have encountered some DNS-related issues. I think it's a good idea to implement F5 DNS. However, I wonder if we can create an iRule to set up a C...

CirrostratusYour approach to use an iRule on F5 DNS to manipulate DNS requests and responses is correct. However, the issue you're facing might be due to how DNS resolution works and the context in which iRules operate. The iRule you provided is designed to modify the DNS request for "example.com" to "example.2.com", and then create a CNAME record in the DNS response. When you perform a DNS lookup for "example.com", the lookup is redirected to "example.2.com". However, this does not necessarily mean that "example.2.com" will resolve correctly.
