local hostname resolution with Route Domains

Is there any possibility to create an entry in /etc/hosts/, which returns the IP-address in a proper Route Domain format? So either with %-notation or as F5 internal IPv6-address? I checked already S...

Hi Nitass,

 

I've already tried both, with an "official" DNS-server (which is reachable via mgmt-Interface) and even with local hostname resolution as described in Sol8439. In both cases I'm getting back a plain IPv4-address, but if the LB initiates a connection to it, it will NOT be send out via a specific Route Domain interface, but via the mgmt-Interface.

 

Background: I need this for a HTTP-Auth configuration within APM, if I enter there the F5 IPv6-address it will be send out to the correct interface and connectivity is fine, but the request will be answered with a HTTP 400 Bad Request due to missing DNS-name in the host header. So if you can tell me how to modify the HTTP-Auth request, this would also be a solution for me ;)

 

Thank you!

 

Ciao Stefan :)
