Simple DNS query without virtual servers

Hi,

 

I'm trying to explore DNS features of BIG-IP and have a very simple set-up. However, when using nslookup/dig I receive a query refused error.

 

Setup: listener on udp port 53, example ip address: 10.10.10.10

 

Wide-IP: application.test.local

 

There are no virtual servers or pools assigned to this wide-ip but one iRule:

 

when DNS_REQUEST {

host 10.20.20.20

}

 

I think this is the simplest set-up you could have and expect a DNS response, but like I said I am not receiving any from dig application.test.local @<big-ip-dns-listener-address>

 

Is there something fundamental I am missing?

    Zchriss, out if interest where is the irule assigned? The wideip or listener object? It should be assigned to wideip due to the default processing of DNS when a request matches a wideip.
