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, I think after all this time (I been working on this with other F5 folks) I think this is what I was looking for. Just like your profile "use BIND Server on BIG-IP" is now disable, recursion is working. As per your original profile I also set the "Unhandled Query Actions" to "drop" This also seems to work.

 

Thank you so much
