TMM crashes and produces a core file.
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
The BIG-IP system configuration includes a Network DNS Resolver, which is referenced by another object (for example, a HTTP Explicit Forward Proxy profile) for DNS resolution.
You may be able to work around this issue by having the Network DNS Resolver work in forwarding/recursive mode rather than in resolving/iterative mode. To do so, you configure a Forward Zone in the Network DNS Resolver for '.' (the DNS root). This causes DNS to send all DNS requests to a different, external resolver of your choice, which will perform recursive resolution. The servers you configure for the '.' Forward Zone could be resolvers internal to your organization or public resolvers (e.g. Google DNS).
TMM no longer crashes.
