Bug ID 2035549: System_host_config container's outbound DNS traffic will use stale DNS lookup entries.

Last Modified: Aug 19, 2026

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS-A(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS v2.0.0

Opened: Aug 22, 2025

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When DNS server entries are added to the appliance via ConfD, the entry is not updated in /etc/resolv.conf of the system_host_config container. Outbound traffic from system_host_config will use stale DNS entries.

Impact

The new entry is not updated in the system_host_config container's /etc/resolv.conf file. This container does not generate outbound traffic so there is no functional impact.

Conditions

A new DNS server or host-entries are added on appliances via ConfD.

Workaround

If you need system_host_config to have the updated DNS server entries, restart the system_host_config container: docker restart system_host_config

Fix Information

Restarting the container should update the DNS lookup entries.
