Transparent Cache¶
In this module we will prepare the objects required to build a transparent cache.
In the next exercise a DNS profile will reference the cache and a Listener will forward traffic to a healthy backend DNS server
Enabling a transparent cache on the BIG-IP will offload some DNS queries from being sent to the internal DNS servers.
Log into the gateway device router01.brancho1 in the branch office
