Hello,

using pdns-recursor 4.5.7-1pdns.bullseye i am getting problem with dns redundancy for records with expired ttl (best seen on low ttl). Forward zones are used for internal domains only. Our clients has configured 3 recurcors (resolv.conf) and every recursor connect to any of the four auth servers for our domains. All subdomains are delegated to own zones but resides on the same auth servers, extra step is using forward-zones. I thought, it's depending on configured order, so i set it to use same location first and remote location on the end (evading firewall, if it's possible).

Pdns recursor config:

...
forward-zones=
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH1_ipv6
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH1_ipv4
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH2_ipv6
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH2_ipv4
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH3_ipv6
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH3_ipv4
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH4_ipv6
forward-zones+=some.domain.tld=AUTH4_ipv4
...

AAAA dns query:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;host.some.domain.tld.  IN      AAAA

;; ANSWER SECTION:
host.some.domain.tld. 60        IN      CNAME   host1.some.domain.tld.
host1.some.domain.tld. 3600 IN  AAAA    host1_ipv6

Problem:
When there is maintenance on for example AUTH4 (server is offline):

Client <-> Recursor:

It looks as recursor is querying the same Auth server for such record until server is up. How to change such setup so maintenance don't break resolving?

Thanks.
