[dnsdist] Question on configuration which I can not make work

[Alexis Berthillier]

Sorry clicked send to fast without relizing you were directly in the to field. Will change that

I will check the documentation regarding DoT.

Is the failover definition between the two pools correct here?

-- Try the primary pool first
addAction(AllRule(), PoolAction("primary"))


What was wrong in this one?

-- Configure the 'primary' pool to be active first (order=1)
-- setPoolProperty('primary', 'outage-strategy', 'failover')
-- setPoolProperty('primary', 'order', 1)


-- Configure the 'backup' pool to be used only when the primary fails (order=2)
-- setPoolProperty('backup', 'outage-strategy', 'failover')
-- setPoolProperty('backup', 'order', 2)
