Hi Friends,
I am wondering anyone can think of why I shouldn't provide secondary
DNS services from a carp cluster of OpenBSD systems? I have an issue
where my primary DNS server is non-redundant, and trying to find a
good place for a secondary. I have a cluster of OpenBSD machines
acting as a router/firewall and would be real convenient to put it
there.
I'd like it to respond to queries on the carp address ..
Can anyone think of a reason to not do this?
Thanks,
Tim
You could use carp, but easier redundancy is already built into the DNS
system. Look into a slave DNS server.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am looking for a good spot on my
network to put a secondary/slave DNS, and I already have a cluster of
OpenBSD machines acting as a router/firewall and was wondering if there
was any reason why not to use those as as slaves, since they are already
redundant and highly available.
Only question is to whether or not to use the/a carp address for the DNS.
Thanks,
Tim
