  Yes.
  But why?
  An active-active situation would make more sense imho.

  There are a handful of legitimate use cases.
  BTW, even Nginx may be used as DNS forwarder, doing TCP and UDP proxying/balancing...

  I wouldn't call it a slave. If you want to have a proper secondary server, you will need to set up a proper DNS server as slave.

  If you actually want to proxy/forward requests, I would suggest dnsdist (made by the people behind PowerDNS).

  Thanks for this but i am unable to dig the public ip. I set 0.0.0.0 as the local ip. But the public ip doesn't respond to queries at all. any heads up ?

  dnsmasq does a dandy job, but unbound work work as well.
