Explanation:
Local BIND server configuration is managed by BIG-IP F5 DNS system ZoneRunner utility. From remote DNS servers you can create new zones or transfer current zones using F5 DNS ZoneRunner utility. Resource records contained within a zone can be added or modified. After the DNS zone exists in local BIND, you can configure the BIG-IP DNS system to answer DNS name resolution requests or zone transfers to other name servers.
