I have a question regarding the posture of dnsdist as authoritative
dns server facing public internet.
How will be the design if you would put the dnsdist (load balancer)
infront the origin DNS servers?
I have two (2) internet facing authoritative DNS translated from my
firewall. Can I also do NAT on dnsdist
while the origin dns servers will be on private IP address?
Short answer, yes.
Slightly longer answer, think of dnsdist more as a caching proxy/load
balancer than as a router. So you'd set up dnsdist to listen for
incoming queries and let dnsdist distribute the queries among backend
servers depending on your preferred load balancing scheme. See also

For redundancy you'll probably also want at least 2 dnsdist instances
that can then sit in front of however many backends is required to
handle the load.
Best regards,
