What is F5 BIG-IP DNS?
F5® BIG-IP® DNS distributes DNS and user application requests based on
business policies, data center and cloud service conditions, user
location, and application performance. BIG-IP DNS can be configured as a full proxy to provide global server load balancing (GSLB) for applications and DNS across architectures, and across the globe.
The BIG-IP platform delivers DNS services with visibility, reporting, and analysis;
hyperscales and secures DNS responses geographically to survive increased traffic or threats; delivers a real-time DNSSEC solution; and ensures availability of global applications in all cloud environments.
F5 BIG-IP DNS Features

- Supported: DNS Firewall Services - Validates queries, mitigates malicious requetss, and absorbs DDoS attacks
- Supported: DNSSEC Protection - Protects servers from cache poisoning and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks with real-time DNSSEC
- Supported: Location-based routing - Routes clients to nearest data center with geolocation-based load balancing for application and infrastructure redundancy

F5 BIG-IP DNS for faster and secure application delivery
F5 BIG-IP DNS is the perfect solution to efficiently stop DNS-related attacks and distribute user traffic intelligently to multiple service-consumption points. With its tight integration with the local traffic management capabilities of BIG-IP LTM, it becomes super easy to direct excess traffic during peak usage periods to places such as a pay-as-you-go cloud (cloud bursting) so that user experience can always remain at its best! With its many implementation options, such as Intelligent DNS resolution (GSLB with WideIP), and Accelerated DNS resolution (DNS Express for Authoritative Answers, hardware-accelerated DNSSec, LDNS caching resolver) it offers flexibility and simplicity to integrate performance and security to any DNS environment.

F5 BIG-IP DNS: Best in class DNS
I use F5 BIG-IP DNS when consolidating all DNS records for many merged companies into one location for complete management and security.
F5 BIG-IP DNS provides intelligent DNS availability to enterprise applications. There are several critical applications that utilize this service and are able to assist with global availability and reduncancy. In addition to local traffic manager virtual servers, we also use non-F5 destination servers to provide this same level of redundancy. Thank you.

We use F5 BIG-IP DNS for Internal and External GSLB, our current solution is implemented On-Prem and In the Cloud. F5 BIG-IP DNS has enabled us to have active/active applications across multiple data centers, we have created specific delegations zones that process the queries for particular scenarios. A normal set up will be to use a CNAME from our primary Zone to point to the GSLB Authoritative Zone

F5 Big-IP DNS Review
We use the appliance to determine network visibility between the two data centers. We have two data centers in Martinsburg and Memphis, Tennessee that we have traffic go through that provides support for our IRS customers so that it provides a domain name service, meaning a network visibility in between the two data centers.
