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.

Couldn't resist :-))

Wow, so my understanding was totally wrong :-( To be 100% sure if I am getting things right - if for example FQDN nodes are used then DNS servers configured in DNS lookup server list will be used (never from BIND forwarder server list) - right?

Then if we will configure DNS listener without Pool and there are entries in BIND forwarder server list those will be used to resolve request coming to configured DNS resolver - right?

If above is correct I would never, ever figure it out from build-in help description :-(
