[Dnsmasq-discuss] Redundant setup with Dnsmasq

[Markus Schöpflin]

Hello,

up to now I have been using Dnsmasq with great success in a medium sized setup 
as a DNS/DHCP/TFTP server in a private test bed. It currently serves a few 
hundred clients (mostly servers and networking equipment) in four different LANs.

A few of the clients have statically configured IP addresses but most are 
using DHCP with automatic DNS registration.

Now I'm faced with the need to create a fault tolerant setup for DHCP and DNS. 
I need at least some kind of backup service for DHCP and DNS which takes over 
automatically as soon as the primary server fails. Is this kind of setup 
supported somehow with Dnsmasq? Or should I be looking into migrating to the 
ISC DHCP server and the Bind DNS server for this?

Regards,
Markus
