Wide IP and SOA query
Hi, That is probably obvious question but I am not sure if I am getting things right. All related to 13.1.0.6 version. Setup: Wide IP: created Automatically ZoneRunner Zone wip.exmaple.com creted with: SOA NS A for DNS profile with: Only GSLB enabled Unhandled Query Actions: Reject When performing A query for answer with correct IP returned. When performing SOA query for wip.exmaple.foo reply with REFUSED status returned. Only way I figured out to make SOA query work is: Unhandled Query Actions: Allow Use BIND Server on BIG-IP: Enabled I wonder if above is really only way to have SOA query working? Are SOA and NS RRs created just because bind zone file db.external.wip.example.foo. format requires it and those RR are not really necessary for any real life scenarios? Sure this is just W2K8 implementation but to create delegation (using wizard) without error for configured NS (for wip.example.foo subdomain) SOA query has to work. That is not big deal because even if there is error in wizard, name resolution is working. Still I am a bit curious if lack of ability to answer SOA query can be important? Piotr
