Not actually failing over.

[MostHated]

Hello,
I was hoping to use this for my current project, but I am having an issue with the IP not failing over to the next. The primary IP for each site is working just fine, but then I tried to change the primary IP to something random that was non-responsive in order to see if it would fail over to the second IP, but have had no such luck. The only thing I have changed is that I moved the entries to their own file so that I could easily add and manage several of them. It is pulling them just fine it seems, as I mentioned, the primary IP of each domain works well.

Thanks,

@MostHated i've not actually tested this is great detail. DNS failover happens at the application level where multiple A records are provided. I created this simple project for development use, I wouldn't use this in production without spending some time testing it.

Unfortunately, this is the only node dns app I can find that does failover at the application level, I was hoping to run it on an external DigitalOcean.com droplet as a standalone DNS server and use it for failover between our 2 locations and dual fiber lines. You do not happen to know of any that are tested well and known to work, do yo?

@MostHated not for NodeJS - it's easy enough to write a decent one in Python or Java however. There are a few good libraries too in those languages.

Alrighty, well I appreciate the information and can appreciate the work you put into this. Thanks!
