NAME::response question

Has the HTTP connection already closed by the time the DNS response gets back to the LTM? That would certainly cause this problem. Try something like:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   set myHostname [HTTP::host] 
   NAME::lookup $myHostname 
   log local0. "NAME: $myHostname" 
   HTTP::collect 
 } 
  
 when NAME_RESOLVED { 
   log local0. "NAME_RESOLVED: [NAME::response]" 
   HTTP::release 
 }  
 

Thanks spark, I tried but no luck....any other suggestions or does it look like a bug?

Colin is right, when willing to use DNS resolution you need to do some configuration on the LTM to make it work,

 

 

you should have a look at this sol, it will guide youClick here

thanks, it works when change the named.conf to allow localhost to query.

I got stuck on this as well. I had to allow TMM to query named from its 127.1.1.2 address and enable recursion. As long as I was enabling recursion, I created a new view for just loopback address clients.

For my later reference, to view more verbose named debug output you can stop named using 'bigstart stop named' and then run it from the command line using:

/usr/sbin/named -g -t /var/named -u named -c /config/named.conf -d 2

[bigip945:Active] cat /var/named/config/named.conf

 
 restrict rndc access to local machines 
 use the key in the default place: /config/rndc.key 
  
 controls { inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1 ;}; }; 
  
 logging { 
     channel logfile { 
         syslog daemon; 
         severity error; 
         print-category yes; 
         print-severity yes; 
         print-time yes; 
     }; 
     category default { 
         logfile; 
     }; 
     category config { 
         logfile; 
     }; 
     category notify { 
         logfile; 
     }; 
 }; 
  
 options { 
         listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; }; 
         listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; }; 
  set this to yes when you want to resolve off 
  box. setting it to yes when you dont actuallly 
  have a bind server configured will result in 
  bind timeouts for many commmands 
         recursion no; 
         directory "/config/namedb"; 
         allow-transfer { 
                 localhost; 
         }; 
     check-names master warn; 
  
  change to "no" if you want to be able to add 
   MX records that do not reference a record that has an A record 
     check-integrity yes;
