iRule to set recursion on DNS request

Hi guys,

Wondered if anyone had experience of or knows of a resource online for how to set the recursion flag on a DNS request?

I'm forwarding the DNS request based on domain with another iRule but the recursion flag must be set or it doesn't work.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Incase anyone is interested I managed to get an iRule working for this;

    when DNS_REQUEST {
  if { [DNS::header rd] eq "0" } {
    DNS::header rd 1
  }
}

    Cheers
