Defining a BIG-IP system with the 3-DNS module
In the 3-DNS configuration, you treat the BIG-IP system and the 3-DNS
Controller module as if they were separate devices. You can add the two
server types either by using the Configuration utility or by editing the
wideip.conf file. The following instructions describe how to add a BIG-IP
system with the 3-DNS Controller module, with the name
combo.siterequest.net and the IP address 192.168.100.100, to the
configuration.
Before you define a BIG-IP system with the 3-DNS Controller module in
the 3-DNS configuration, you should have the following information:
The name and IP address of the BIG-IP system
The name and IP address of the 3-DNS Controller

To add a BIG-IP system with the 3-DNS Controller module using
