Hi
All the configuration & routing looks perfect however, the dns resolvers are not resolving the hostnames.
I think the issue is that I had first set the forward zone name as "TestDNS" initially, later realized that it is incorrect. I then changed the forward zone name as "dot" however in-spite of the correction made the DNS resolver refuses to resolve the FQDN's whatsoever. I think it has some bug / misbehavior after the correction. When I built the same setup on another LB with the exact steps (no mistakes in any step) then it worked perfectly.
Regards,
