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.

Wow, thanks a lot for your time and effort, really appreciate!

 

From above it's clear that anything configured in BIND Forwarder Server list is not used by BIG-IP for internal name resolution - that is 100% clear now.

 

Still I am not sure in what situation IPs configured in BIND Forwarder Server list are used. Maybe some small real life example that you can share?

 

Thanks again,
