BigIP DNS is not really intended to be an end user resolver. It's intent is to serve resolvers. Zone Runner is a front end for the BIND server running on the BigIP, while DNS Express is intended to be a high speed secondary name server.

 

In fact you can configure both. You could have Zone runner pull from your primary DNS Server, and DNS Express pull from your local BIND.
