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.
Thanks for the feedback. Are there any special settings to get it
working, or do i just need to add a service for tcp/udp port 53?
