Used for what exactly?

DNS is DNS.  If you're thinking of using NGINX as a dumb TCP/UDP load 
balancer 
<https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/load-balancer/tcp-udp-load-balancer/> 
in front of a number of DNS backends, then it will work with any DNS 
server.  But you may be better off using an application like dnsdist 
<https://dnsdist.org/> (also from PowerDNS) which is specifically 
designed for forwarding DNS requests.  It depends what you're trying to 
achieve.

than replying to an existing message - especially when that message is a 
digest]
