BigIP DNS Cache Resolver Issue with Microsoft DNS 2012 R2
Sup everyone,
I am running into an odd issue right now during my migration from a Big IP 1600 to the New Viprion Chassis B2250 series. We have configured our New Internal Big IP DNS Server in a non Bind Resolver Cache only DNS server that would process only internal Wide IP requests. Our Existing F5 DNS is running Bind.
On our Corp DNS server we have an NS delegation that points to the listeners for both Data Centers. Corp DNS also has CNAME Records that will do global resolution, example would be CNAME funkytown.ilb.blank.com Alias funkytown.blank.com. Corp DNS would send that request to the Internal F5 DNS server that responds back with an A record with IP address. Corp DNS is the SOA for blank.com and the F5 DNS is the SOA for ilb.blank.com
The Intermittent issue we are seeing is sometimes very Random after we migrate from old Bind to new Cache resolver the Microsoft DNS will respond back to the client without the A record IP it just shows CNAME.
As much as i want to Blame Microsoft for this issue and not the F5 this is only happening when i migrate to the new setup its not happening going to our old legacy Bind servers.
Has anyone run into this issue before? If so do you know of a Fix? Anything anything? i basically cant migrate to the new Viprions cause of this issue as it is causing applications to be unavailable.
Legacy DNS Version 11.5.4 New DNS Version 12.1.3.3
Thanks
