Opened: Mar 14, 2014
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

DNS cache resolver or validating resolver does not function properly and fails to resolve DNS requests.

Impact

It is difficult to both use non-default cmp hashes on system VLANs and use a DNS cache resolver on the same BIG-IP system.

Conditions

BIG-IP system is using non-default cmp hashes configured on its egress VLANs.

Workaround

Configure a separate VLAN for the cache resolver's use that uses the default cmp hash. Set the system's default route to direct resolver traffic to this VLAN. This VLAN can be placed in a new route domain, if other features require route domain zero's default route pointing elsewhere.

Fix Information

DNS cache resolver or validating resolver now functions properly, successfully resolving DNS requests when using non-default cmp hashes configured on its egress VLANs.
