Hi Cem,

What you mean by "active passive"? Do you mean a main node and a standby backup node? For DNS it's recommended to just have multiple nodes which are all active, or use a networking technique such as anycast, bgp-ondemand route advertisement, or even better a dns aware load balancer such as dnsdist to perform failovers if you want to have an active / standby setup.

I hope this answers your question. If not, please let us know what you want to accomplish and we'll point you in the right direction.

Kind Regards,

Frank
