Symptoms

tmm cache resolver caches responses with TTL=0, and it shouldn't.

Impact

tmm cache resolver caches responses with TTL=0.

Conditions

TTL is set to 0 on the BIG-IP DNS system, so TMM will see TTL=0 from the DNS answer.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The system no longer caches ttl=0 response for tmm cache resolver. This is correct behavior.
