    Hello,

    F5 dns provides an other layer of performance for DNS traffic, if you plan to do ISP or DC load balancing DNS is gamechanger. It comes with built-in defenses (like LTM)

    Honestly I would advise to use AFM+DNS in front of AWAF they will provide Layer4 security/DDos along with DNS security.

    Hope this helps
