I passed it on to the corp-IT people and the issue appears to be fixed. The problem was that someone forgot to override the F5 default of *NOT* enabling a NODATA/NOERROR response for AAAA queries. I have no idea why an opt-in would be required for proper interoperability with RFC 1034 from 1987. Then again, I have zero experience with operating a load balancer appliance. ------ Andris
Can you please log a bug report with F5 about the defaults. It should answer all queries unless a backing nameserver has been configured. It should also sanity check the negative responses to ensure that they have the correct SOA record from the backing server but that is another issue.
