Unfortunately I do not have a packet capture at the moment. Maybe I will find a service window this week to reproduce the issue.
At the moment 11.6 HF6 is installed on both F5 BIG-IP VE's.
The DNS requests in my tests where just normal "dig" commands with mx option like:
dig www.google.com mx
As I saw in the TCPDUMP's the requests where simple UDP/53 on the inner f5 interface. From 5 DNS requests (dig) 3 where answered correctly and 2 where not answered at all... After failover to the standby unit the DNS issue was gone...
The f5 gears are directly connected to the internet in our cloud. The only device between is the internet gw (cisco router) but there aren't any ACL's preventing DNS to change from UDP to TCP.
