GTM Listener IP - Best Practice
"F5 recommends to always use a self IP address when defining a listener object for local name resolution. A listener object that is not defined as a self IP address cannot direct name resolution requests to BIND."

WARNING: Running this script will wipe out the current configuration
files (bigip_gtm.conf, named.conf and named zone files) on the BIG-IP GTM
Controller on which this script is run. The configuration will be
replaced with the configuration of the remote BIG-IP GTM Controller
in the specified sync group
The local BIG-IP GTM MUST already be added in the configuration of the
other GTM.
NOTE: The current master key of this BIG-IP will be changed to match the
master key of the remote BIG-IP GTM.

Great DIG command
Great DIG command
Find the IP address of a particular domain name that you want to know. You can use the DIG command, without any additional option, which is:
dig example.com
It will do a DNS query, looking for the A records. They have the IP addresses which correspond to the domain name form the query.
The following dig command will give you a lot of extra information too. Data like the version of the DIG command you are using, a header that shows you what you did and who answered you, the port and protocol you used (usually UDP), the time it took for the query, the TTL of the record, and the server which answered you.
If you don’t want so much information, go for the short answer of just the IP address with this command:
dig example.com +short
Check what a particular resolver has in its cache memory. We will use Google’s DNS resolver (8.8.8.8) to see what it has for our domain name.
dig example.com @8.8.8.8
Look if a zone exists on a particular name server. We want to see the SOA record again, but we will specify with “@” symbol on which name server we are searching for it. In this case, the name server is “ns1.example.com”.
dig SOA example.com @ns1.example.com
See when the cache with the answer will expire.
dig example.com +noall +answer
How to check if your DNS zone is synchonized over all authoritative name servers?
dig example.com +nssearch
See the name servers, list of all of them, of the TLD you put in the query. Yes, you can also do this and check the name servers of a TLD like COM, EU, US, ASIA, or another.
The DIG command will be similar to the previous, but instead of a complete domain name, we will just put the TLD. In this case, “com”.
dig NS com +short
Reverse DNS check, IP address to hostname. You can also perform the reverse DNS check and see to which hostname does an IP address belongs. For this purpose, the domain owner needs to have PTR DNS records with the IP address and pointed correctly.
dig -x 1.2.3.4
Check the responsible mail servers for accepting emails.
dig MX example.com +short
See the delegation patch from the root server to your DNS zone. You can make a trace request and see the path, starting from the root server to your DNS zone.
dig example.com +trace
