That should "just work". Do however make sure that the database that has the 'domains' table entry for a domain also has the records, as that is what PowerDNS assumes! To configure this way, use: launch=gmysql:first, gmysql:second And then configure with: gmysql-first-dbname= and gmysql-second-dbname= etc. I may be off a bit, check doc.powerdns.com for detauls > Now my question(s): Is it possible to do it that way and if yes, how could > that priority-thing being configured? The first configured backend gets the first shot to answer. If the data isn't there, the next one will be queried.
