PCS, Corosync, Pacemaker, and Bind

Another question I have is, how exactly does BIND determine whether the IP
address is valid when setting listen-on or various source options? Although
ifconfig does not show the address, "ip addr" does show it and it is
reachable.

I suggest having a look at keepalived: it's significantly simpler.

Why do you care about the query source address?

I don't set any of those options and just let BIND pick whatever source
address it wants; it might choose the server admin address or the advertised
service address, and that doesn't matter because everything else is
configured to accommodate this.
