[Pdns-users] Pdns-users Digest, Vol 191, Issue 14

[Frank Louwers]

Hi Satya,

Yes, as Nginx includes capabilities to load balance UDP and TCP. So if you configure Nginx to load balance port 53 for both protocols, you could use Nginx as a load balancer for DNS.

However, Nginx doesn’t understand the DNS protocol. It is a layer 4 LB, not a (dns-protocol aware) L7 LB. 

What do you want to achieve? Maybe dnsdist is a better option?
