DNS Resolver Cache
Hi,
I'm currently investigating the option to dispose of my LDNS servers and let the LTM do the recursive lookups for my clients and cache responses.
I have read the following statement from there site and I'm wondering if this statement applies to what I was trying to do.
"It is important for network architects to note that it is possible to configure the local BIND instance on the BIG-IP® system to act as an external DNS resolver. However, F5 Networks does not recommend this approach, because the performance of BIND is slower than using a resolver cache."
Basically what I was trying to accomplish is have my clients (linux, windows, etc) point to the LTM as their DNS servers, and let the DNS resolve and cache.
Thanks
