Well, not a great answer indeed :-) but thanks a lot for answer!

 

What I am actually trying to figure out is difference between entering IP in DNS Lookup Server List and BIND Forwarder Server List.

 

I assume that both are used by BIG-IP to perform queries (like to resolve NTP server FQDN to IP or other FQDNs BIG-IP itself has to resolve) - hope I am right here?

 

If is main difference between this two config options that second one allows BIG-IP to store responses in local BIND cache? So in compare to first option not every request has to be send to external DNS (if response already exist in local BIND cache)?

 

Or I totally misunderstand how this options work?
