Big-IP DNS cache implantation?

Question

Dears,&nbsp;
I was reading about DNS caching and i get confused when i should configure transparent caching or resolver caching.&nbsp;
Is there any best practices about when we should use transparent cache vs resolver cache?&nbsp;
Regards,
Muhannad&nbsp;

This depend on your business needs. While acting as transparent cache, big-ip relies on external DNS server and does not resolves names. It just caches responses from DNS resolver.&nbsp;
While acting as resolver cache, big-ip resolves dns names itself and then caches the results&nbsp;
