There are some people who think you should use the inherent
failover of DNS and others who think you should use the
failover of LVS. Clearly DNS shouldn't need LVS failover and
should be able to handle it itself, but if the first
nameserver is hung, you don't get failover. The failover for
dhcp when running multiple dhcp servers doesn't work either
(also from ISC). The dhcpd mailing list has the same bug
being posted for several years and I've just resorted to
using a single machine with a powered off backup machine
ready to go.
So I'd say that failover for DNS is not going to be fixed
anytime real soon now. You're going to have to use something
like LVS.
