Setting Virtual Server to Load balance Windows DNS Server.

Hi all, i am trying to setup a virtual Server to load balance 3 Windows DNS (DC) server. I followed the documentation dns-load-balancing-dg.pdf, ran the template Generic DNS and from the BigIP side, all seems ok. But when i try to resolve any address with nslookup i get the error DNS Request Timed out Timout was 2 seconds Server: Unknown Address : x.x.x.x (my virtual Server IP)

 

Our goal is to setup a Virtual Server to load balance 3 DNS servers and configure all of our servers to point to that Virtual IP in the preferred DNS Server, so in the event we loose our current preferred DNS, the others will take over.

 

BigIp Version is 10.2.3 (build 112.0)

 

Thanks,

 

Pierre.
