Hi Steve, my question expands a little on the last one (with no answer)

 

Here is what I'm thinking the answer to the first part is. When you define a zone in DNS Express it will answer the clients, not bind. At least this is what it looks like.

 

My question is this:

 

Our DNS servers need to be fully functional as there will be people using them directly for DNS. When I disable "use BIND Server on BIG-IP" recursion no longer works and it won't answer for zones it doesn't know about. (I really hope I'm saying that correctly) Is that expected? Do I have to enable "use BIND Server on BIG-IP" for this to work?
