Configuring BIG-IP DNS (formerly GTM)

Learn how to configure and deploy BIG-IP DNS as it is commonly used. Learn how the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves hostnames into IP addresses, and how to use DNS Express to cache DNS query responses, accelerating DNS resolution. Practice working with key features to perform intelligent DNS resolution and configure wide IP pools to use a path load balancing method. Explore using persistence to effectively return one or more clients to the same virtual server on each query. Practice manual controls for resuming certain load balancing behaviors in the event of an outage. Configure BIG-IP DNS to participate in the DNSSEC chain of trust. Configure limit settings on virtual servers, and wide IP pools to temporarily direct client traffic away from resources that may not be performing at certain thresholds of efficiency. Customize intelligent DNS resolution using iRules on a wide IP. Learn how to configure a BIG-IP DNS sync group. Reinforce knowledge transfer through the use of hands-on labs, and gain the confidence needed to start using BIG-IP DNS in a production environment.
