Well, I am trying to configure DNS System Monitoring stuff with Nagios
plugins. This monitor the server status and if any of th link fails remove
the said IP from zone and reload the zone. This entry would have low TTL so
that traffic would be routed to new entry instantly.
Lets say I have two ISPs terminated on my firewall and www.example.com with
private IP 172.16.3.10 is natted with 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8 with TTL value 300
Nagios plugin check_tcp would monitor those links or IPs on port 80 and if
any of the link fails I can have by any mean edit the zone file and remove
the IP associated with failed link so that traffic would never reach to
that IP.
Upon recovery the plugin will show the result GREEN and I can again have
the A record added in zone file, thus reload the zone. Due to the low TTL I
believe there shouldn't be any issue for populating those changes faster.
What say guys?
