Why the hell do you want to use static routes when you don't need to... Yuck1) should each dns cache server be configured a static default route (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0)? If server-(1,3) is configured statically to use router-1 as default router, will Quagga make it use router-2 when router-1 is not reachable? Servers a cheaper than good routers... Why don't you just have your dns server connected to one router.... If you want dns servers on multiple subnets, spend a couple of grand and get a cheap 1U dell server for your other rack... Why do you need to worry about default routes? You are running a dynamic routing protocol on your dns server. Anycast dns pretty much relies on ospf working... Hell, you don't need any default gateway on your host... Let you quagga worry about routing...2) If each server is configured two default router ( router-1 & router-2), or each server learn route 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 by OSPF ( our border router inject default route into OSPF ); there should be two equal cost path to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 on each DNS server, the DNS server should disperse any outgoing packets onto the two paths, will that do harm to DNS service ? Set up your ospf area as an nssa.... Your dns server only needs to LEARN default from the connected routers... You will be doing a 7-5 conversion on your asbrs. What does bind care? We are talking unicast... If the packet can get to your dns server, bind can probably get the answer back. You are making this much more difficult than it needs to be....3) Is there any requirement on BIND to fit to such multipath routing situation? http://www.net.cmu.edu/pres/anycast Check out this presentation....
