My name is Steve Lyons and I reside in Tampa, FL with my 3 children, wife and Frenchie. We live the typical Florida life of swimming, fishing, boating, and BBQ. I started my F5 journey as a customer in 2009 where I was first introduced to it as a "load balancer." I have since deployed and maintained all modules realizing the BIG-IP is so much more. I joined F5 in 2015 where I have made it a personal mission to educate as many people as I can so they too can take advantage of the tremendous potential of the BIG-IP.

Hello Steve,

 

We have a explicit F5 forward proxy server where I am able to access all external sites and it works fine however I can't reach any my internal sites , It said "DNS lookup failed " .

 

from Big IP I can resolve these sites but not working in browser., In DNS resolver list I have called the internal DNS server which can resolve all the DNS entries internal and external.

 

So please suggest where am I missing .
