Hi,

We deployed LTM as a transparent DNS caching and are currently tweaking the cache size to get the optimal size. However, as we had changed the cache size from 1MB to 10MB, using tmsh command "shot ltm dns cache records msg cache " still show that there are still 1000 records per TMM. Is this just cosmetics or are there any implicit limit on the show command?

Thanks.

Adit

I suggest to restart the process through cli, might there is a bug in the current HF. also i recommend to go with 11.6.0 HF3.

I’ve actually opened a case for this and F5 Support suspected that this was an intentional behavior. Couldn’t tell yet which versions does it apply, though
