how to modify the cache

[houguanghua]

Steven,
 
Your solution is very good. It can forward the queries to the specified name servers first.
 
But if the specified name server is enabled only when normal dns query process is down. How to configure the local DNS server?  The detailed scenario is descibed in below figure:
 

                                            --------------
                                           |    Root         |                                  
                                           | nameServer |
                                         /  -------------
                                     ②/           
                                       /
     ----------                   ------------                       -------------
    | Client     | __①____\ |   Local         | ___③_____\ |  Authority    |      
    | Resolver |             / | DNS Server |       X       / | DNS Server  |
     ----------                   ------------                        -------------
                                       \                     
                                        \④
                                         \
                                          \  ------------
                                            |  Hidden      |
                                            | DNS Server |
                                             ------------
Normally,
  1) A internet user wants to access www.abc.com, a DNS request is sent to local DNS server
  2) Local DNS server queries the root name server, the .com name server to get the Authority Name Server of abc.com  
 3) local DNS server queries the Authority name server, and gets the IP
 
But when the Authority name server is down, the internet user won't get  the IP address.  My solution is as follows:
     a) A hidden name server with low performance is deployed. When authority name server can't be accessed, local dns server will access the hidden server.
     b)The hidden server is never used in normal situation. It act as a cold backup for authority name server.
     c) The zone file in the hidden server is the same as that configuration in the authority name server 
     d) The hidden name server doesn't appear in the NS records of  authority name server 
 
Btw, all above doesn't consider the cache in the local dns server.
 
 
 Best Regards,
Guanghua
