Error description
In Configure DNS Settings, with Load Balancing Algorithm set to Round Robin, the Retries parameter on the DNS Servers tab cannot be used configure zero retries. When the parameter is set to 0, the retry count used is the default value of 3.
Local fix
Problem summary
Affected are DataPower configurations using DNS with Round Robin load-balancing algorithm, with Retries set to 0 for DNS servers. Retries=0 is not interpreted by the firmware as "no retries", i.e. one DNS query attempt, but as Retries equal to the default value of 3. Therefore it is not possible to configure DNS for round-robin and no retries.
Problem conclusion
Fix is available in 4.0.2.15, 5.0.0.10 and 6.0.0.2. For a list of the latest fix packs available, please see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21237631
