DNS - Default to an IP when host name fails to resolve?

  • 772

Is it possible to setup some DNS server where it will default to an IP address if the the host name it tries to resolve fails to resolve? I'm having a problem where a host name is intermittently failing to resolve.

  1. What is the output of NSlookup? What are you using for a local DNS server? Who do you forward to? Have you cleared your cache (both server side and client side)?

    Depending on the error with NSlookup, try specifying a different server - maybe Google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8 an see if there is a difference.

    also more details about what you are trying to do when you start having problems would be helpful..
