If it were me, I'd have a pair of dnsdist instances (with the floating 
IP moving between those), which in turn point to the real servers behind.

This has a number of advantages:

- active-active operation (load-sharing)
- can scale to more than 2 back-end servers
- actively sends test DNS queries to each backend every second, and 
takes unresponsive ones out of the pool
- provides lots of metrics <https://dnsdist.org/statistics.html>
- binding to an interface name instead of IP is apparently supported 
<https://dnsdist.org/reference/config.html#listen-sockets>:

/On recent Linux versions specifying the interface via 
the//|interface|//parameter should work as well./

The issues Klaus raised around master/slave operation still require care 
of course. If you're using native mode with SQL-level replication, 
things may be simpler.
