Opened: May 29, 2023 Severity: 3-Major
The client receives a SERVFAIL when the CNAME queried to the BIG-IP DNS resolver takes more than the limit configured in the DNS Cache. The limit is set as 11 for BIG-IP v17.1.0 and later. It is fixed as 8 for earlier releases.
The clients cannot resolve DNS names if the count of the CNAME chases goes beyond the limit configured in the DNS cache.
A BIG-IP DNS is configured as a resolver (as a cache or a net resolver). The domain of which CNAME resolution is asked requires chasing more times than what is pre-configured in the DNS Cache.
The providers whose CNAME is queried can be asked to keep chains shorter than the pre-configured limits (the limits vary between different versions of BIG-IP).
