Lightboard Lessons: Pinhole DNS

A couple years ago when I was managing the infrastructure for our test, stage, and production DevCentral environments, we had to test from mobile devices to the internal test/stage environments, but on devices like iPads and iPhones, you can’t manage the host file so they need their primary name server to serve those responses. If you don’t want to manage those names in your name server, a simple solution is to use an iRule to intercept and respond. This episode of lightboard lessons covers that scenario.
