I know of no way to do this within BIND itself, but if you Anycast your nameservers, and carefully tweak route preferences and whatnot, you could ensure that some instances (call it set A) only get used if all of the members of another set of instances (call it set B) stop advertising the route(s).

Of course, that only works if the box is sufficiently down that it stops advertising the route(s). Other failure modes (e.g. zone expired, misconfigured, busying out, nameserver process dead) wouldn't necessarily trigger failover at the routing level.

If you want finer control, you'd probably have to use a dedicated load-balancer-type device.

Dear all,
As a beginner of BIND, I'm writing to ask one question about 'Stealth servers'. 
To avoid the access failures arising from the broken down of Authoritative Name 
servers, I'd like to run Stealth servers as back up. My question is how could I 
set the Stealth servers as non-priority so that these Stealth servers could not 
be accessed unless the Authoritative Name servers are broken down? The 
'forward' configuration item could set the servers as priority, is there 
another configuration item could do the contrary thing? Looking forward to your 
reply!

Best wishes,
Teng
