irule to block a domain using UCP payload

Hi, we are trying to filter some DNS quueries in our bigIP, but face some problems - running version is 10.1 - only LTM license

 

that means we can not use DNS irules statements, so we though about using UDP payload features

 

for that reason we tried the following

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { set payload [UDP::payload] if {[matchclass $payload contains "google"]} { reject }

 

}

 

this is working and it is able to reject DNS queries to google, www.google.com, etc

 

but if we write down $payload contains "www.google.com"]}

 

it is not working, neither for google, nor for google.com

 

we tried to check the payload itself (logging it) and it shows something like blablablawwwgooglecomblablabla, without the dot between google and com

 

any idea?

 

we are interested in filtering www.google.com and not google or google.com (this is just an example, URL is different in life system)

 

thanks a lot in advance

    I ran into the same issue. Here is something that might work.

    It was taken from

    https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.fast_DNS.ashx

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    binary scan [UDP::payload] H4@12A*@12H* id dname question
     set dname [string tolower [getfield $dname \x00 1 ] ]
    switch -glob $dname {
       "\x03www\x06google\x03com" {
          log local0. "This matches www.google.com"
          drop
       }
   }   
}

    I hope this helps
