To expand on this a little, the default check is to do an A lookup for
a.root-servers.net which is ok for a recursive DNS server, but if you're
putting dnsdist in front of an authoritative DNS server (if you're hosting
your own zone you are) then you'll need to adjust your check to fit your
environment.

Example:
newServer{address="192.168.3.3:5353", qps=10, order=1, checkName="myzone.com
"}
newServer{address="192.168.3.4", qps=10, order=2, checkName="myzone.com"}
