From pen homepage: "This is pen, a load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols such as http or smtp." As I know DNS uses both tcp and udp protocols. For failover you can try OpenBSD Packet Filter with CARP protocol. PF can do load-balacing using different algorithms also. CARP is ported to FreeBSD.
