If you are looking for the options to avoid any DNS-related downtime or the way to manage dns across all server you have, you might consider to set up dns cluster.

  1. Create user dns-cluster on a server which will be used as dns slave
  2. Run following command on a master:
v-add-remote-dns-host slave.yourhost.com 8083 admin p4sw0rd

Password and host name should be replaced with relevant data of course.
