Hi Hubert,

is it possible to use pdns as something like a DNS-Proxy plus autoritative part? In our environment we have a backend server, which is able to contact three DNS-Servers wich work as forwarders and autoritative Server in one. Some times one of this server is down. At the moment we have a pdns 2.9.21.1 on CentOS 5.4 running, wich has only the capability to connect to one recursor with the recursor statement in pdns.conf. If one of the three server is down and the one is configured, we have to manually add an alternative server and restart pdns.

We would like to have something that choose the nameserver wich is up automatically.

maybe you can use the PowerDNS recursing nameserver (3.1.7.2) with this configuration:

auth-zones=your_domain=your_zone_file
forward-zones=.=1.2.3.4;1.2.3.5;1.2.3.6

So all except your_domain will forwarded to one of the three forwarders.
