Opened: Feb 05, 2020
Severity: 1-Blocking

Symptoms

DNS queries are not being cached on the BIG-IP device.

Impact

DNS queries are forwarded, but the BIG-IP system does not cache them.

Conditions

-- DNS cache is enabled (System :: Configuration : Device : DNS Cache). -- Device receives DNS queries.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

DNS queries are now cached when DNS Cache is enabled.

Behavior Change

Full DNS cache functionality has been restored. This results in performance degradation. You might notice it in OCSP performance, when compared to releases in which full DNS cache functionality is not present. By default, DNS cache is disabled. To recapture performance, enable DNS cache.
