GDNSD geoip failover not working?

[heaven.k3y]

Hi,
I'm using GDNSD (ver 1.10.1) with plugin geoip. I have two data centers in Northern and Southern. Sometime my data center in the Northern have a problem and go DOWN but GDNSD failover not working (it's not returning ip address of Southern data center). I checked with the dig commad in Linux: dig @<my dns ip> <my test domain> Could you help me for a second?

Thanks!

What's your TTL set to? Check for any syslog messages on the gdnsd
server(s), it should show failover occurring, yet clients will still
honor TTL.

My default TTL = 3600 and the testing domain using geopip have TTL = 1 (min value of gdnsd). I have just seen that failover still working if user using OpenDNS. Do you have any ideal for my problem? Thanks you!

Hi, do you see any log entries in syslog that show failover occurring?

Hi,

I'm using Centos (Linux) and i don't see any log entries in /var/log/message that show failover occuring.

Well, your config needs a few settings, here's what I use:

service_types => {
geoip-test => {
url_path => "/index.html",
down_thresh => 5,
interval => 21,
}
}

Under each resource dcmap section I have:
service_types => geoip-test,

It is also important to point out that each geoip map section needs
double entries like these:
AF => [JNB,EMEA],
OC => [SYD,SIN],


If you need more help please pastebin your config.
