Are you talking about recursive clients failing over?

Or other nameservers trying to talk to yours, non-recursively?

Recursive clients don't use NS records at all and you need to approach the failover problem in a completely different way (e.g. relying on the client failing over from one resolver IP address to another, or implementing an Anycast solution).

If you're talking about nameserver-to-nameserver traffic, then just publish multiple NS records for the relevant zone(s) and the nameserver-selection algorithm embedded in every known iterative-resolver implementation will take care of the load-balancing and failover; to summarize, faster-responding nameservers will be chosen over slower-responding ones.

Hi,
    Can anyone let me know how i can resolve the below requirement.
Requirement:
We have two offices. One is main office and another one is remote branch office. Now my company client requirement is that if main office DNS server is not reachable, all DNS query should be sent to branch office DNS server. How this can be acheived using BIND? For example, my company mail website is; mail.mycompany.com which is pointed as below in ISP name server.
mail.mycompany.com    IN    NS    ns1.mainoffice.com
mail.mycompany.com    IN    NS    ns1.branceoffice.com
  Is the above record is correct or not?
 Please suggest.
Regards
papdheen M
