We have a primary & secondary DNS server on our local network. We need some utility or setup that will automatically allow our secondary DNS to totally take over from our primary DNS in the event our primary DNS goes down. This means effectively that that in the event of a primary DNS failure our secondary DNS must be able to change it's own IP address to that of the dead primary DNS server and take over all resolution etc. I know little about load balancing or clustering so any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Kindest regards David Wilson The S.A Internet #include To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
